Project description:This study showcases the application of metaproteomics to generate a comprehensive proteomic profile from municipal wastewater. We developed a streamlined sample preparation protocol and a data-processing pipeline that integrates de novo sequencing to customize large public sequence databases for in-depth metaproteomic analysis. Wastewater samples collected over three months from two urban locations revealed a diverse range of microbes, including common gut bacteria and opportunistic pathogens. Furthermore, approximately 200 human proteins were identified, including potential health and disease biomarkers such as immunoglobulins, uromodulin, and cancer-associated markers.
Project description:One ONT-ULK sequencing run from the kidney of a single male CDMR (Bathyergus suillus) sample used to make the mBatSui1.1.primary genome assembly as an evolutionary comparator to our telomere-to-telomere naked mole-rat genome assembly. Specifically, we assembled a CDMR from a wild-derived sample in South African cape and sequenced in Toronto, Canada, using PacBio HiFi (89 Gb, read N50 = 18 Kb) and ONT-ULK (55 Gb, read N50 = 43 Kb) reads (contig N50 = 33 Mb, Compleasm S = 99%, QV = 71.0). This accession stores the ONT-ULK data for this assembly.
