The Banfield Lab at Berkeley collaborated with Stamen to bring their data to life, using advanced data interaction and interactive visualizations to make it easier to understand these vast new landscapes of genetic diversity.
The principle of metagenomics involves studying the genome of microbial communities in bulk environmental samples directly without culturing individual species.
Abstract. YAMP (
‘Mitochondrial metagenomics’ (MMG) is a methodology for shotgun sequencing of total DNA from specimen mixtures and subsequent bioinformatic extraction of mitochondrial sequences. The approach can be applied to phylogenetic analysis of taxonomically selected taxa, as an economical alternative to mitogenome sequencing from individual species, or to environmental samples of mixed specimens, such as from mass trapping of invertebrates. The routine generation of mitochondrial genome sequences has great potential both for systematics and community phylogenetics. Mapping of reads from low-coverage shotgun sequencing of environmental samples also makes it possible to obtain data on spatial and temporal turnover in whole-community phylogenetic and species composition, even in complex ecosystems where species-level taxonomy and biodiversity patterns are poorly known. In addition, read mapping can produce information on species biomass, and potentially allows quantification of within-species genetic variation. The success of MMG relies on the formation of numerous mitochondrial genome contigs, achievable with standard genome assemblers, but various challenges for the efficiency of assembly remain, particularly in the face of variable relative species abundance and intra-specific genetic variation. Nevertheless, several studies have demonstrated the power of mitogenomes from MMG for accurate phylogenetic placement, evolutionary analysis of species traits, biodiversity discovery and the establishment of species distribution patterns; it offers a promising avenue for unifying the ecological and evolutionary understanding of species diversity.

Friday was Daffodil Day, held each year to raise money for the Cancer Society of New Zealand. Part of those funds gets put into research, including work on the cancer-fighting properties of the NZ sea sponge. A team at Victoria University led by metagenomics lecturer, Dr Jeremy Owen is trying to synthetically reproduce some of those cancer-fighting compounds in the laboratory.
Recent advances in genome-resolved metagenomics and single-cell genomics have dramatically expanded the tree of life, uncovering new major lineages of Bacteria and Archaea. In this Perspective, Castelle and Banfield explore how this explosion of new genome sequence information is revolutionizing our view of microbial metabolism in global biogeochemical cycles, the relationships among members of natural microbial communities, and the evolution of life.

There has been an explosion in our understanding of the human microbiome (the genome of all our microbes) in the recent years. Advances in genome sequencing technologies and metagenomic analysis (genetic study of genomes taken directly from environmental samples) have enabled scientists to study these microbes and their function and to research microbiome–host interactions both in health and disease. The human microbiome has an estimated 100 trillion microbes, the bulk of which live in our gut. This summary gives an overview about what is known about the microbiota (microbial community) in paediatric practice. This short article is written for the practising paediatrician. For a scientific overview, the reader is referred to reviews.1 ,2 An understanding of this complex ecological community is important as it affects our patients, and manipulation of the gut microbiome has the potential to be used in the treatment of childhood diseases in the future. The human microbiome is composed of communities of bacteria (and viruses and fungi) that have a greater complexity than the human genome itself. Large-scale metagenomic projects (community and environmental genomics), such as the European Metagenomics of the Human Intestinal Tract and the Human Microbiome Project, have reported 3.3 million unique protein-encoding genes as compared with the entire human genome, which has around 23 000 genes. These studies have described the beneficial functions of the normal gut microbiota on health down to the genetic level.3 The human microbiome has extensive functions such as development of immunity, defence against pathogens, host nutrition including production of short-chain fatty acids important in host energy metabolism, synthesis of vitamins and fat storage …
You’ve heard it before, you are what you eat, but a new global study has found that this saying is especially true when it comes to our microbiome, the trillions of microorganisms in our gut.Our bodies contain microbes, a lot of them; scientists estimate over 100 trillion in each of us. The vast majority of these reside in the large intestine and consist of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. These microorganisms help our bodies perform many tasks such as digesting food, producing vitamins, and training/strengthening our immune system. What this new study revealed is that the makeup of these organisms is heavily influenced by the food we consume.The large-scale international study analyzed the diets, microbiomes, and blood markers of more than a thousand people including hundreds of identical and nonidentical twins. Researchers applied metagenomics, the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples, and blood chemical profiling techniques to uncover 30 gut microbes tied with lower and higher risks of diseases. Researchers found that nutrient-rich diets comprised of whole produce gut microbes that are associated with healthier outcomes such as lower risks of developing obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. In contrast, diets full of processed foods especially those with added sugar and salt fostered the growth of pathological gut microbes that were associated with worse health outcomes.Examples of “good” strains found were the microbes Prevotella copri and Blastocystis spp. which are indicators of better glucose control and lower levels of visceral fat—the fat surrounding your organs. These strains were more likely to appear in the guts of people who ate high-fiber plants and minimally processed animal foods including fish and unsweetened yogurt. Additionally, the “good” microbes were tied with lower levels of inflammation and cholesterol.What is compelling is that the subjects’ gut flora was more strongly determined by the subjects’ diet than their genetics. For instance, only 34% of identical twins share the same gut microbes, and their microbiomes are likely to be vastly different when one twin is obese and the other is lean. Obese individuals have a lower diversity of bacteria, and higher levels of digestive enzymes, making them more efficient at digesting food and storing calories as body fat.The makeup of our microbiome is predominantly determined by our diet, which is immensely important because:We know specific microbial species in the gut are promoted by certain foodsYou can directly influence the microbes in your gut by consuming more of these types of foods thereby improving your microbiome, which boosts your overall healthBy identifying certain microbes in the gut which are linked to biomarkers of metabolic disease, earlier intervention may be possibleMake it a priority to consume more wholesome foods such as broccoli, kale, spinach, and nuts while eliminating or at least minimizing highly refined foods like pasta and doughnuts. This is a simple but effective way to foster a healthy gut flora, which can in turn optimize your health.In Good Health,James O'Keefe, MD, FACC
