Jaime Moreno, Universidad de los Andes, Colombia Lance Boling, San Diego State University, United States Katrine Whiteson, San Diego State University, United States Forest Rohwer, San Diego State University, United States Jeffrey Gordon, Washington University School of Medicine, United States

Short Abstract: The microbiome has changed the way we think about ourselves and diseases. Often ignored, viruses can give us valuable information about the ecology of the gut. We studied the virome of over 170 samples in lean and obese individuals, assembled novel viral genomes and uncovered important features of their genomes.

Short Abstract: Metagenomics allow explain the interactions involved in metabolic networks in microbial ecosystems, and evaluate the performance of the system under different environmental conditions. We developed a mathematical representation of metabolic network that integrates sub-cellular locations and a diversity index for soil samples. This network allowed a quantitative analysis of biogeochemical cycles

Short Abstract: A computational platform was developed in order to identify genes and amino acid sequences with potential application as biosurfactants, according to the presence of amphipathic regions. A preliminary implementation allowed the screening of 5561 amino acid sequences which have a beta-barrel structure from a metagenome of high-altitude Andean forest soil

Gunther J. L. Gerhardt, Universidade de Caxias do Sul, Brazil Agnes A. S. Takeda, Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Brazil Ney Lemke, Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Brazil José Luiz Rybarckzyk-Filho, Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Brazil

Short Abstract: The advances on sequencing technologies enabled the development of metagenomics, helping with the full characterization of microbiomes. Herein we propose a new technique for metagenomics. Our data suggest that the entropy sequence analysis can be applied in studies of microbiomes as a marker for structural organization of organisms.

Luísa Hoffmann, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Iamê Alves Guedes, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Luciana Loureiro Penha, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Turán Péter Ürményi, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Bruce Budowle, University of North Texas Health Science, United States Sandra Maria Feliciano de Oliveira e Azevedo, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Rosane Silva, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Short Abstract: Metagenomics contribute to understand the dynamics and molecular basis of microorganisms. Our objective is to compare the bacterial diversity of Funil Reservoir (RJ, eutrophic) and Samuel Hydroeletric (RO, oligo-mesotrophic). Preliminary analysis of Next Generation Sequencing reads showed a high variability of bacteria species. More detailed taxonomic analysis is being performed.

MGB: A new Metagenomic Browser

Gianluca Silva, University of São Paulo, Brazil

João Carlos Setubal, University of São Paulo , Brazil

Short Abstract: One of the main functions of this web platform is to associate the taxonomic identification of each read with the contig of which the read is a part, and an annotated ORF (when one exists). Such a capability should enable the rapid identification of chimeric contigs.

Short Abstract: Metagenomic analysis of viruses is a powerful tool to identify and classify the virus diversity in a population. In this work, field-infected symptomatic bean and weed samples from three different regions of Pernambuco state (Arcoverde, Caruaru and Ibimirim) were analyzed for the presence and diversity of begomoviruses.

Short Abstract: In response to viral infection invertebrates rely on the RNAi pathway, which is triggered by dsRNA generated during viral replication. Here we propose a pipeline to assemble contigs from small RNA libraries.Using our strategy, we were able to identify known and unknown viruses from small RNA deep sequencing data.

Short Abstract: Although it is needed to unveil the protein role experimentally, it can be predicted by the use of bioinformatics tools. Techniques such as structural annotation and phylogeny confer a better knowledge about a protein or a target gene in study and can correlate the likelihood of it's representation in nature.
