Preserving biodiversity is a global challenge requiring data on species’ distribution and
abundance over large geographic and temporal scales. However, traditional methods to survey …

The ocean is a soup of its resident species' genetic material, cast off in the forms of metabolic
waste, shed skin cells, or damaged tissue. Sampling this environmental DNA (eDNA) is a …

Responsive environmental policy demands a constant stream of information about the living
world, but biological monitoring is difficult and expensive. For many species and ecosystems…

Massively parallel sequencing is rapidly emerging as an efficient way to quantify biodiversity
at all levels, from genetic variation and expression to ecological community assemblage. …

Background: High-throughput genomic technologies offer new approaches for
environmental health monitoring, including metagenomic surveillance of antibiotic resistance …

Human-health relevant impacts on marine ecosystems are increasing on both spatial and
temporal scales. Traditional indicators for environmental health monitoring and microbial risk …

Antibiotic resistance (AR) is a major global public health threat but few resources exist that
catalog AR genes outside of a clinical context. Current AR sequence databases are …

Background The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathway plays an essential
role in signal transmission and response to external stimuli in mammalian cells. Protein …

Whole-metagenome sequencing (WMS) has emerged as a powerful tool to assess potential
public health risks in marine environments by measuring changes in microbial community …

Metabarcoding of marine environmental DNA (eDNA), originating from tissue, cells, or
extracellular DNA, offers the opportunity to survey the biological composition of communities …
