Amazon Rainforest Microbial Observatory Metagenomes

Bohannan, Brendan J. M.; Meyer, Kyle M.; Klein, Ann M.; Rodrigues, Jorge L. M.; Nusslein, Klaus; Tringe, Susannah G.; Mirza, Babur S.; Tiedje, James M. (University of Oregon, 2010-04)

This data archive contains 79 files of quality-filtered, shotgun metagenomic DNA sequence data generated as part of the Amazon Rainforest Microbial Observatory (ARMO) project. Ten soil cores were collected from Amazon ...
Assembly of microbial communities associated with the developing zebrafish intestine

Burns, Adam (University of Oregon, )

The communities of microorganisms associated with humans and other animals are characterized by a large degree of diversity and unexplained variation across individual hosts. While efforts to explain this variation in ...
Bacterial Colonization Dynamics and Ecology of the Developing Zebrafish Intestine

Stephens, William (University of Oregon, 2013-10-03)

Human intestinal microbiomes exhibit a large degree of interindividual compositional variation. Animal models, such as the zebrafish, facilitate the design of controlled and highly replicated studies that allow us to ...
Farms, Fungi, and Climate: Drivers of Pathogenic Fungi Abundance in Corn Seeds

Jaffe, Catherine Mackenzie (University of Oregon, 2017)

Seedborne pathogenic fungi in the genus Fusarium are prevalent in corn populations and pose human health risks due to their production of carcinogenic mycotoxins. Although much is known about the large scale effects on ...
Hitchhiking in the Canopy: Ecological Patterns of Forest Mycobiomes

Thomas, Daniel (University of Oregon, 2018-04-10)

The fungal microbiome, or “mycobiome” of plants is diverse and important to host health, but the fluxes of fungi among plant hosts and with the surrounding environment are poorly understood. In chapter two, we employed ...
The biogeography and functional ecology of tropical soil microorganisms

Meyer, Kyle (University of Oregon, 2017-05-01)

Tropical ecosystems are some of the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet. These ecosystems are also some of the most threatened worldwide and this is largely driven by agricultural expansion. Predicting ...
The Dynamics of Microbial Transfer and Persistence on Human Skin

Bateman, Ashley (University of Oregon, 2017-09-06)

The skin microbiome is a critical component of human health, however, little is understood about the daily dynamics of skin microbiome community assembly and the skin’s potential to acquire microorganisms from the external ...
Trait biases in microbial reference genomes

Albright, Sage; Louca, Stilianos (Nature Communications, 2023)

Common culturing techniques and priorities bias our discovery towards specific traits that may not be representative of microbial diversity in nature. So far, these biases have not been systematically examined. To address ...
