Biological mass spectrometry enables spatiotemporal 'omics: From tissues to cells to organelles

Leena R. Pade et al.

Summary: Biological processes unfold across broad spatial and temporal dimensions, and measurement of the underlying molecular world is essential to their understanding. Mass spectrometry (MS) has advanced significantly, allowing for precise analysis of molecular architecture at various levels, with high detection sensitivity and scalability. This review highlights technology innovations that have improved sample collection and processing, chemical separation, ionization, and 'omics analyses, enabling deeper study of limited and dynamic specimens. The integration of orthogonal approaches from molecular and functional studies, combined with spatiotemporal MS, has become an exciting and powerful resource in the study of biological systems.

Summary: Metabolomics and lipidomics involve the large-scale analysis of metabolites, requiring advanced analytical methods. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is a commonly used technique that provides different selectivities in separation and high sensitivity in detection. Due to the huge chemical diversity, there is no single analysis method that can cover the entire range of metabolites or lipids, leading to the use of different separation methods. This review explores the current use of LC-MS in metabolomics and lipidomics using data from public databases, and highlights potential future trends and improvements needed.

Analyzing rare mutations in metagenomes assembled using long and accurate reads

Marcus W. Fedarko et al.

Summary: The emergence of long and accurate HiFi sequencing technology has greatly enhanced our ability to study complete metagenomes by facilitating the identification and phasing of rare mutations in metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). However, the challenges of identifying rare mutations, estimating false-discovery rate (FDR), and phasing mutations in the context of HiFi data are still open problems. In this study, we introduce a pipeline called strainFlye for the FDR-controlled identification and analysis of rare mutations in MAGs assembled using HiFi reads. Our results demonstrate the potential of deep HiFi sequencing to reveal and phase thousands of rare mutations in a single MAG, identify mutational hotspots and coldspots, and provide insights into MAGs' growth dynamics.

Ultra-accurate microbial amplicon sequencing with synthetic long reads

Benjamin J. Callahan et al.

Summary: LoopSeq is a commercially available synthetic long-read (SLR) sequencing technology that generates highly accurate long reads from standard short reads, enabling direct identification of microbial genes and species in complex samples. Compared to standard Illumina amplicon sequencing, LoopSeq offers an order-of-magnitude improvement in length and accuracy, allowing accurate identification of species and strains from complex to low-biomass microbiome samples.

Local and systemic mechanisms linking periodontal disease and inflammatory comorbidities

George Hajishengallis et al.

Summary: Periodontitis is causally linked to the development of other chronic inflammatory diseases outside the oral mucosa, and intervention studies have shown that local treatment of periodontitis can ameliorate surrogate markers of comorbid conditions. Experimental animal studies have further strengthened the potential causal link by establishing biologically plausible and clinically consistent mechanisms. Understanding the impact of disseminated periodontal pathogens and systemic inflammation associated with periodontitis on extra-oral pathologies may lead to new therapeutic options to reduce the risk of periodontitis-associated comorbidities.
