Enriching the Human Stool Microeukaryotes for Shotgun Sequencing

This study develops a method to enrich microeukaryotes in human stool samples for shotgun sequencing, improving their representation and taxonomic diversity in metagenomic libraries.

Wheat mutants lacking Starch Synthase 1 have altered starch composition and cell wall content

This study examines the effects of SS1 deficiency in wheat, finding altered starch composition and cell wall polysaccharides but normal starch content and grain weight.

Optimizing storage, high-molecular weight DNA extraction and genome reconstructions from human faecal samples.

The paper evaluates DNA extraction and storage protocols for human faecal samples to optimize high-molecular weight DNA recovery for long-read metagenomics.

Modelling the gut microbiota of children with malnutrition: in vitro models reveal differences in fermentability of widely consumed carbohydrates

This study uses an in vitro model to show that inulin is poorly fermented by the gut microbiota of children with severe acute malnutrition, while legume-based feeds and milk oligosaccharides are more effectively fermented.
