| Abstract | Lung transplantation offers the only treatment for multiple chronic diseases. Transplantation is dependent upon successful resistance to organ rejection. For children, a vulnerable population, the five and ten-year survival for lung transplants is only 52% and 29%, respectively. The reason for this low survival rate is primary due to chronic lung graft rejection in the form of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS). Our hypothesis is that the changes in the composition of the pulmonary microbiome are associated with the development and progression of graft rejection which is in turn related to detrimental cardiopulmonary outcomes and poor overall survival in lung transplant recipients. Samples were obtained from 6 pediatric lung transplant patients over multiple time points. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples were collected at approximately 7 time points for each subject. The DNA isolated from BAL is sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq machine. The longitudinal taxonomic profiles demonstrate the phylum Proteobacteria to be the most abundant across all samples. This suggests that certain members of this phylum may indicate a core microbiome in the lung graft. The association between Pseudomonas aeruginosa overgrowth and clinically suspected infection requiring antibiotic therapy was evaluated throughout the study period employing a Smoothing Splines ANOVA on the microbial taxonomic time series' profile. Overgrowth of Cellulomonas is associated with infection during the early days after the lung transplantation. Conversely, Bradyrhizobium, Acetobacter, and Coriobacterium are more abundant in the non-infected subjects. We also propose MetaLonDA, an R package that can be used to accurately detect metagenomic features (species, genes) relating to the phenotype or disease status, and accurately detect the starting and ending time points when the differences arise. It is able to handle sampling at different time points, unequal number of time points among the subjects, and long gap between longitudinal time points. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
