1.
A novel sequencing-based vaginal health assay combining self-sampling, HPV detection and genotyping, STI detection, and vaginal microbiome analysis
Bik E, Bird S, Bustamante J, Leon L, Nieto P, Addae K, et al.
PLoS One . 2019 May; 14(5):e0215945. PMID: 31042762
The composition of the vaginal microbiome, including both the presence of pathogens involved in sexually transmitted infections (STI) as well as commensal microbiota, has been shown to have important associations...

Correction: 16S rRNA gene sequencing and healthy reference ranges for 28 clinically relevant microbial taxa from the human gut microbiome
Almonacid D, Kraal L, Ossandon F, Budovskaya Y, Cardenas J, Bik E, et al.
PLoS One . 2019 Feb; 14(2):e0212474. PMID: 30753236
[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0176555.].

Self-Sampling for Human Papillomavirus Testing: Increased Cervical Cancer Screening Participation and Incorporation in International Screening Programs
Gupta S, Palmer C, Bik E, Cardenas J, Nunez H, Kraal L, et al.
Front Public Health . 2018 Apr; 6:77. PMID: 29686981
In most industrialized countries, screening programs for cervical cancer have shifted from cytology (Pap smear or ThinPrep) alone on clinician-obtained samples to the addition of screening for human papillomavirus (HPV),...

16S rRNA gene sequencing and healthy reference ranges for 28 clinically relevant microbial taxa from the human gut microbiome
Almonacid D, Kraal L, Ossandon F, Budovskaya Y, Cardenas J, Bik E, et al.
PLoS One . 2017 May; 12(5):e0176555. PMID: 28467461
Changes in the relative abundances of many intestinal microorganisms, both those that naturally occur in the human gut microbiome and those that are considered pathogens, have been associated with a...

The prevalence of species and strains in the human microbiome: a resource for experimental efforts
Kraal L, Abubucker S, Kota K, Fischbach M, Mitreva M
PLoS One . 2014 May; 9(5):e97279. PMID: 24827833
Experimental efforts to characterize the human microbiota often use bacterial strains that were chosen for historical rather than biological reasons. Here, we report an analysis of 380 whole-genome shotgun samples...

Cutting edge: a variant of the IL-23R gene associated with inflammatory bowel disease induces loss of microRNA regulation and enhanced protein production
Zwiers A, Kraal L, van de Pouw Kraan T, Wurdinger T, Bouma G, Kraal G
J Immunol . 2012 Jan; 188(4):1573-7. PMID: 22262659
IL-23R gene variants have been identified as risk factors for two major inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, but how they contribute to disease is poorly understood....

Precise manipulation of chromosomes in vivo enables genome-wide codon replacement
Isaacs F, Carr P, Wang H, Lajoie M, Sterling B, Kraal L, et al.
Science . 2011 Jul; 333(6040):348-53. PMID: 21764749
We present genome engineering technologies that are capable of fundamentally reengineering genomes from the nucleotide to the megabase scale. We used multiplex automated genome engineering (MAGE) to site-specifically replace all...
