This study characterizes the microbiome of Total Suspended Particles (TSP) and finds correlations between indoor TSP and the upper respiratory microbiome of office workers.

The paper demonstrates miniature spatial transcriptomics to study gene expression patterns in filarial worms and their Wolbachia endosymbionts, revealing spatial gene localization and interactions.

This study evaluates the impact of read length and pairing on differential expression analysis in host-pathogen interactions, finding 54-bp paired reads most robust and 36-bp single reads suitable for bacterial samples.

This study compares enrichment techniques for multi-species RNA-Seq, finding that targeted enrichment with Agilent SureSelect improves read mapping to target organisms.

FADU improves RNA-Seq quantification for prokaryotes by better detecting genes missed by HTSeq and featurecounts, especially in organisms with overlapping transcriptional units and polycistronic transcripts.
