MYCOBIOME SEQUENCING AND ANALYSIS APPLIED TO FUNGAL COMMUNITY PROFILING OF THE LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT DURING FUNGAL PATHOGENESIS

Mycobiome Sequencing and Analysis Applied to Fungal Community Profiling of the Lower Respiratory Tract During Fungal Pathogenesis

Invasive fungal infections are an increasingly important cause of human morbidity and mortality.We generated a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based method designed to detect a wide range of fungi and applied it to analysis of the fungal microbiome (mycobiome) of the lung during fungal infection.Internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) amplicon sequen

Gender differences in the predictive role of self-rated health on short-term risk of mortality among older adults

Objectives: Despite the well-established association between self-rated health and mortality, research findings have been inconsistent regarding how men and women differ on this link.Using a national sample in the United States, this study compared American male and female older adults for the predictive role of baseline self-rated health on the sh
