Towards a taxonomic coherence between average nucleotide identity and 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity for species demarcation of prokaryotes. + Author Affiliations Correspondence Jongsik Chun jchun@snu.ac.kr Among available genome relatedness indices, average nucleotide identity (ANI) is one of the most robust measurements of genomic relatedness between strains, and has great potential in the taxonomy of bacteria and archaea as a substitute for the labour-intensive DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) technique. An ANI threshold range (95–96 %) for species demarcation had previously been suggested based on comparative investigation between DDH and ANI values, albeit with rather limited datasets.
Furthermore, its generality was not tested on all lineages of prokaryotes. A supplementary figure and two supplementary tables are available with the online version of this paper.

I have gotten many outside requests for the following information – what places (companies, Universities, government agencies, etc) provide contract services for rRNA PCR and sequencing? I know that uBiome will do this (full disclosure – I am on their SAB). The UC Davis Host-Microbe Systems Biology Core will do this (more disclosure – I am the Assistant Director).

Cancer cells frequently contain mutations that activate the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway. This study shows that activation of Akt enhances the transcription of ribosomal genes by stabilizing a protein, transcription initiation factor I (TIF-IA), which is essential for the transcription of ribosomal DNA. Activated Akt also increases ribosomal RNA synthesis by phosphorylating casein kinase 2, which in turn phosphorylates and enhances the activity of TIF-IA. Abstract Footnotes.

Comparative proteome analysis of the ΔrsmB/ΔrsmD strain To identify the proteins which were differentially expressed depending on the lack of G966/C967 methylation we investigated the proteome of ΔrsmB/ΔrsmD strain in rich LB (Figure 1a) and poor M9 (Figure 1b) media at the logarithmic phase and in the LB media at the stationary phase (Figure 1c). The wild type proteome was labeled with Cy3 green fluorescent dye, while the proteome of the ΔrsmB/ΔrsmD strain was labeled with Cy5 red fluorescent dye.
Fluorescently labeled total protein samples were mixed to equal Cy3 and Cy5 total fluorescence and subjected to 2D protein gel separation. Protein spots whose Cy5/Cy3 fluorescence ratio was below 0.5 or above 2 were considered significantly under- or over-represented in the proteome of the mutant bacteria (Supplementary file 2) and the proteins analyzed by MALDI-MS analysis after tryptic digestion9.

Abstract There are several key mechanisms regulating eukaryotic gene expression at the level of protein synthesis. There are two general mechanisms regulating gene expression at the translational level in response to ever-changing environmental conditions, in addition to many others operating mainly in a gene-specific manner. Intuitively, translational regulation at the ribosomal level must be mediated by (i) ribosomal proteins and their prospective interactions with mRNA and various eIFs and (ii) those segments of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) that are exposed to the solvent and might therefore contact incoming mRNAs. Data sets The rRNAs and mRNA 5′ UTRs of 14 species were used. The rRNA sequences were collected from Silva (14) and GenBank databases. Sequence complementarity Figure 1. My first PLoS One paper .... yay: automated phylogenetic tree based rRNA analysis by Jonathan Eisen.
Oct 31, 2013 270 views (Reposted with permission from Jonathan Eisen's blog) Well, I have truly entered the modern world. My first PLoS One paper has just come out. It is entitled "An Automated Phylogenetic Tree-Based Small Subunit rRNA Taxonomy and Alignment Pipeline (STAP)" and well, it describes automated software for analyzing rRNA sequences that are generated as part of microbial diversity studies. The work was done primarily by Dongying Wu, a Project Scientist in my lab with assistance from a Amber Hartman, who is a PhD student in my lab. We first developed this pipeline/software in conjunction with analyzing the rRNA sequences that were part of the Sargasso Sea metagenome and results from the word was in the Venter et al. We made a series of further refinements and worked with people like Saul Kravitz from the Venter Institute and the CAMERA metagenomics database to make sure that the software could be run outside of my lab.

Minimization of chloroplast contamination in 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing of insect herbivore bacterial communities. Highlights The homology between chloroplast 16S rRNA and bacterial primers is problematic. Many primers used in 454 bacterial profiling perform poorly in folivorous insects. We show that 799F effectively reduces chloroplast sequences in insect samples. This contamination is eliminated by shifting 799F by one or two basepairs. Abstract Chloroplast sequence contamination in 16S ribosomal RNA gene (16S) analyses can be particularly problematic when sampling microbial communities in plants and folivorous arthropods.

Taxonomic Precision of Different Hypervariable Regions of 16S rRNA Gene and Annotation Methods for Functional Bacterial Groups in Biological Wastewater Treatment. High throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene leads us into a deeper understanding on bacterial diversity for complex environmental samples, but introduces blurring due to the relatively low taxonomic capability of short read. For wastewater treatment plant, only those functional bacterial genera categorized as nutrient remediators, bulk/foaming species, and potential pathogens are significant to biological wastewater treatment and environmental impacts. Precise taxonomic assignment of these bacteria at least at genus level is important for microbial ecological research and routine wastewater treatment monitoring.
Therefore, the focus of this study was to evaluate the taxonomic precisions of different ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene hypervariable regions generated from a mix activated sludge sample. Editor: André O.

But, how do i get the nucleotide sequences for any gene or rRNA genes?

Any help would be great. 16s rRNA sequencing in industry applications. 6 months ago by Hello, There are indeed plenty of applications in industrial and life technologies based on pyrotags of 16S rRNA. A quick look through will give you many results, many of which open access. It's probably easier for you to direct the search yourself, as I don't know what your specific interests are and the field is so vast. There is also a wide array of literature discussing which region to target for sequencing (I say V3, V4), which primers to use (reviewd in and how to post-process the data.
Pyronoise ( ) is generally considered the best application for that, at least as far as error correction is concerned. After that Usearch might be a good alternative, although I don't know how it performs with 454. Bioinformatics Answers.

Predictive functional profiling of microbial communities using 16S rRNA marker gene sequences : Nature Biotechnology. The PICRUSt algorithm We developed PICRUSt to predict the functional composition of a microbial community's metagenome from its 16S profile. This is a two-step process. In the initial 'gene content inference' step, gene content is precomputed for each organism in a reference phylogenetic tree.
This reconstructs a table of predicted gene family abundances for each organism in the 16S-based phylogeny. PICRUSt is composed of two high-level workflows: gene content inference (top box) and metagenome inference (bottom box). Full size image (367 KB) In the gene content inference step, PICRUSt predicts what genes are present in organisms that have not yet been sequenced based on the genes observed in their sequenced evolutionary relatives. Prediction of a microbe's gene content starts by inferring the content of the organism's last phylogenetic common ancestor with one or more sequenced genomes.
