Article Abstract
Metagenome sequencing has revolutionized functional microbiome analysis across diverse ecosystems, but is fraught with technical hurdles. We introduce MOSHPIT (https://moshpit.readthedocs.io), software built on the QIIME 2 framework (Q2F) that integrates best-in-class CAMI2-validated metagenome tools with robust provenance tracking and multiple user interfaces, enabling streamlined, reproducible metagenome analysis for all expertise levels. By building on Q2F, MOSHPIT enhances scalability, interoperability, and reproducibility in complex workflows, democratizing and accelerating discovery at the frontiers of metagenomics.

Global efforts to standardise methodologies benefit greatly from open-source procedures that enable the generation of comparable data. Here, we present a modular, high-throughput nucleic acid extraction protocol standardised within the Earth Hologenome Initiative to generate both genomic and microbial metagenomic data from faecal samples of vertebrates. The procedure enables the purification of either RNA and DNA in separate fractions (DREX1) or as total nucleic acids (DREX2).

Recent research has highlighted the vaginal microbiome as a crucial factor in women's health and fertility. The growing recognition of its significance has intensified the focus on studying the female reproductive tract's microbial ecosystem. While various analytical methods exist for examining the vaginal microbiome, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) has emerged as an auspicious approach.

Microbial community studies have established enzymes' pivotal catalytic roles in ecosystem metabolism, yet cultivation-dependent methods fail to exploit uncultured microbial enzyme resources. Metagenomics overcomes this by directly accessing microbial genetic information, but its massive data generation challenges precise enzyme identification: (1) Restricted applicability across varied sample types. (2) Narrow functional scope in target enzyme discovery.

Metatranscriptomics methods for the skin are hampered by low microbial biomass, contamination with host cells and low RNA stability. In this study, we developed a robust, clinically tractable skin metatranscriptomics workflow that provides high technical reproducibility of profiles, uniform coverage across gene bodies and strong enrichment of microbial mRNAs. Paired application of this protocol with metagenomics to five skin sites in a cohort of 27 healthy adults identifies a notable divergence between transcriptomic and genomic abundances.

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive airflow limitation and chronic inflammation. Although airway microbes and host immunity are known contributors, the molecular mechanisms underlying disease severity remain unclear. This study explores microbial dysbiosis and host immune responses across varying COPD severities.
