The major problem encountered is eukaryotic host contamination, i.e. >80% of 16S reads can be wasted due to off target amplification from the host’s genome. While this problem is well known to those who work with plants, it seems to be underestimated in the human sector. 24 Giugno 2021 ## [Sustainable Agriculture: Role of Metagenomics in Exploring the Soil Microbiota](/it/blog/sustainable-agriculture-role-of-metagenomics-in-exploring-the-soil-microbiota.md) The implementation of the EU Farm to Fork Strategy will require an environmentally-friendly utilization of existing natural resources to secure sustainable food production, including a fair use of agricultural land. To reach the 2030 targets, growers will need to change agronomic practices, including soil management, and minimize the use of chemical inputs, the consequences of which on soil microbial communities and plant nutrition are currently unknown. 10 Marzo 2021 ## [IGATech Contest 2020: #scRNAseq Winner Project Presentation](/it/blog/igatech-contest-2020-scrnaseq-winner-project-presentation.md) Pleased to present the winning proposal “Understanding tumor and microenvironmental heterogeneity in primary and secondary cancers by single-cell RNA-seq” sent by the 31 y/o post-doctoral research fellow Elena Campaner from the University of Trieste. 05 Gennaio 2021 ## [#LabNote: A new solution for low input miRNA-seq](/it/blog/labnote-a-new-solution-for-low-input-mirna-seq.md) Deep sequencing of entire population of expressed miRNAs in a given sample simultaneously queries thousands of miRNA sequences with extraordinary sensitivity and ability to detect novel ones. In general, the approach is used to give insights in how post-transcriptional regulation contribute to phenotype and for the discovery and development of novel biomarkers for diagnostic testing. In addition, given its extreme sensitivity, miRNA-seq is suitable for detection of both RNA and DNA viruses, as well as viroids that can be missed using targeted detection methods.
