Description: The unseen world of microbes has a profound affect on everyday life. Complex microbial communities play a role in everything from climate regulation to human health and disease pathogenesis. Advancements in the field of Metagenomics are providing ...

Title: Next-Generation Sequencing Based Quantification of Microbial Communities and Gene Pathways
Author: Jones, Roshonda
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Bioinformatics
Description: Humans act as a host to trillions of microorganisms. The collective of these microorganisms is called a host’s microbiota. There is a growing interest in the bacterial composition of the gut microbiome of humans (structure) and the role of the mic...

Title: On Compositionally Aware and Naïve Approaches to Normalization of 16S Microbiome Data
Author: Yerke, Aaron
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Bioinformatics
Description: Compositional data refers to any data that represents parts of a whole, and DNA sequencing data is compositional in nature. This is due to the constraint on our current sequencing technologies that allow us to record a sample of the sequences rath...

Title: On Whole Genome Classifier Perforamnce in Relation to 16S Classifiers
Author: Johnson, James
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Bioinformatics
Description: There is little consensus in the literature as to which approach for classification of Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequences is most accurate unlike 16S classifiers that have had more time to mature. In this dissertation, two of the most popular cl...
