Examining composition of Russian human gut microbiota by assessing relative abundance of functional and taxonomical units

Russian Metagenomic Project is an initiative lead by a consortium of Russian scientific and medical institutes targeting study of human gut microbiome of Russian population. During Phase I of project, fecal metagenomic samples of 132 subjects were sequenced on ABI SOLiD sequencer and analyzed bioinfor-matically.The composition was derived by assessment of taxonomic and functional relative abundance, allowing linking with various medical and ethno-geographical factors.

MALINA —whole-genome metagenomic reads analysis

Huge volume of whole-genome metagenomic samples in repositories keeps growing at increasing pace. In community of researchers, there is a need for robust data analysis tools that allow efficient description of composition, classification and clustering coupled with comprehensive visualization of results Particularly, human gut microbiome is one of extensively studied topics in metagenomic research.We developed a software pipeline for bioinformatic analysis of metagenomic data obtained from human gut microbiota sequencing currently available as a free web service MALINA.

First batch of samples in Russian metagenomic project processed

In December 2010, the Genomic Center of RIPCM FMBA of Russia obtained results of sequencing for the first ten samples of human gut microbiota. Their basic taxonomic and functional composition has been examined. January brought an extra sequencing validation run that confirmed the results of the first run and allowed to choose detection threshold for various bacterial species in a sample.
