Rapid quantitative profiling of complex microbial populations
Diverse and complex microbial ecosystems are found in virtually every environment on earth, yet we know very little about their composition and ecology. Comprehensive identification and quantification of the constituents of these microbial communities--a 'census'--is an essential foundation for understanding their biology. To address this problem, we developed, tested and optimized a DNA oligon...
متن کاملMultivariate analysis of complex DNA sequence electropherograms for high-throughput quantitative analysis of mixed microbial populations.
High-throughput quantification of genetically coherent units (GCUs) is essential for deciphering population dynamics and species interactions within a community of microbes. Current techniques for microbial community analyses are, however, not suitable for this kind of high-throughput application. Here, we demonstrate the use of multivariate statistical analysis of complex DNA sequence electrop...
متن کاملAssessing the Accuracy of Quantitative Molecular Microbial Profiling
The application of high-throughput sequencing in profiling microbial communities is providing an unprecedented ability to investigate microbiomes. Such studies typically apply one of two methods: amplicon sequencing using PCR to target a conserved orthologous sequence (typically the 16S ribosomal RNA gene) or whole (meta)genome sequencing (WGS). Both methods have been used to catalog the microb...
متن کاملRapid evolution of adaptive niche construction in experimental microbial populations.
Many species engage in adaptive niche construction: modification of the local environment that increases the modifying organism's competitive fitness. Adaptive niche construction provides an alternative pathway to higher fitness, shaping the environment rather than conforming to it. Yet, experimental evidence for the evolutionary emergence of adaptive niche construction is lacking, leaving its ...
متن کاملRapid profiling of protein kinase inhibitors by quantitative proteomics.
The ability to determine structure-activity relationships (SAR) and identify cellular targets from cell lysates and tissues is of great utility for kinase inhibitor drug discovery. We describe a streamlined mass spectrometry-based chemoproteomics workflow to examine the SAR and target profiles of a small library of kinase inhibitors that consists of the drug dasatinib and a panel of general typ...
