Objective: Next generation sequencing is commonly used to characterize the microbiome structure. MiSeq is most commonly used to analyze the microbiome due to its relatively long read length. Illumina also introduced the 250 × 2 chip for NovaSeq. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of MiSeq and NovaSeq in the context of oral microbiome study.
Methods: Total read count, read quality score, relative bacterial abundance, community diversity, and correlation between two platforms were analyzed. Phylogenetic trees were analyzed for and periodontopathogens.
Results: NovaSeq produced significantly more read counts and assigned more operational taxonomic units (OTUs) compared to MiSeq. Community diversity was similar between MiSeq and NovaSeq. NovaSeq were able to detect more unique OTUs compared to MiSeq. When phylogenetic trees were constructed for and periodontopathogens, both platforms detected OTUs for most of the clades.
Conclusion: Taken together, while both MiSeq and NovaSeq platforms effectively characterize the oral microbiome, NovaSeq outperformed MiSeq in terms of read counts and detection of unique OTUs, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool for large scale oral microbiome studies.

We characterized all ceftazidime-avibactam-resistant KPC-producing K. pneumoniae (KPC-Kp) isolates recovered from both patients and environmental samples at the ICU of our hospital in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic initiation. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (Sensititre-EUMDROXF; disk-diffusion) and WGS analysis (Illumina-Novaseq/Miseq; Oxford Nanopore-MinION) were performed.

Short-read metabarcoding analysis is the gold standard for accessing partial 16S and ITS genes with high read quality. With the advent of long-read sequencing, the amplification of full-length target genes is possible, but with low read accuracy. Moreover, 16S rRNA gene amplification in seaweed results in a large proportion of plastid reads, which are directly or indirectly derived from cyanobacteria.

Objective: To analyze the structural and phylogenetic characteristics of the mitochondrial genome from , so as to provide a theoretical basis for classification and identification of species within the genus, and to provide insights into understanding of -schistosomes interactions and the mechanisms of parasite transmission.
Methods: samples were collected from the Ruya River basin in Zimbabwe. Mitochondrial DNA was extracted from samples and the corresponding libraries were constructed for high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform.

Numerous forensic age prediction models based on DNA methylation markers have been developed, each differing in the number of predictive markers, statistical method, biomatrix, and sequencing platform used. This variability highlighted the need for more uniformity in the development of epigenetic clocks. To partially address this need, the VISAGE Consortium introduced the VISAGE enhanced tool assay, a multi-tissue assay that targets eight age-associated genes (ELOVL2, EDARADD, ASPA, FHL2, MIR29B2CHG, KLF14, TRIM59, and PDE4C).

DNA-based methods and developments of sequencing technologies are integral to macrobenthos biodiversity studies, and their implementation as standardized monitoring methods is approaching. Evaluating the efficacy and reliability of these technological developments is crucial for macrobenthos biodiversity assessments. In this study, we compared three DNA-based techniques for assessing the diversity of bulk macrobenthos samples from the Belgian North Sea.
