Background: Messenger RNA 3' untranslated regions (3'UTRs) control many aspects of gene expression and determine where the transcript will terminate. The polyadenylation signal (PAS) AAUAAA (AATAAA in DNA) is a key regulator of transcript termination and this hexamer, or a similar sequence, is very frequently found within 30 bp of 3'UTR ends. Short interspersed element (SINE) retrotransposons are found throughout genomes in high copy numbers.

A diverse array of micro-organisms can be found on food, including those that are pathogenic or resistant to antimicrobial drugs. Metagenomics involves extracting and sequencing the DNA of all micro-organisms on a sample, and here, we used a combination of culture and culture-independent approaches to investigate the microbial ecology of food to assess the potential application of metagenomics for the microbial surveillance of food. We cultured common foodborne pathogens and other organisms including , spp.

Lateral gene transfer (LGT), also known as horizontal gene transfer, facilitates genomic diversification in microbial populations. While previous work has surveyed LGT in human-associated microbial isolate genomes, the landscape of LGT arising in personal microbiomes is not well understood, as there are no widely adopted methods to characterize LGT from complex communities. Here we developed, benchmarked and validated a computational algorithm (WAAFLE or Workflow to Annotate Assemblies and Find LGT Events) to profile LGT from assembled metagenomes.
