The PhILR transform uses an evolutionary model to overcome statistical challenges associated with microbiota surveys.

PGFinder is an open-source software dedicated to the analysis of peptidoglycan mass spectrometry data that paves the way for peptidoglycomics.

Protein coding genes strongly support a sister group relationship between Placozoa and Cnidaria to the exclusion of Bilateria, contradicting previous phylogenies, which have likely been misled by pervasive compositional heterogeneity.

A mathematical model of bias in marker-gene and metagenomic sequencing measurements explains systematic errors in defined mixtures of microbial species, and enables quantitative and reproducible investigation of biological communities.

Resident members of natural bacterial communities limit the growth of non-resident bacteria primarily by increasing overall community growth.

Viewing a jumbled word activates an efficient visual representation in high-level visual cortex that is matched to stored words in the word form area.

A data-driven network model offers an interpretable and physiologically sound description of the whole-brain spontaneous neural activity of zebrafish larvae.

Diverse sophisticated phylogenetic analyses update the phylogeny of the Alphaproteobacteria and show that the parasitic Holosporales is a derived group within the Rhodospirillales order which comprises primarily free-living alphaproteobacteria.

Integrated phylogenomics and mitochondrial DNA inventory of net-winged beetles across three continents suggest ~1000 undescribed species, biodiversity hot spots, and phylogeny-based classification that sets up the basis for further research.

In baboon gut microbiota, most pairwise correlations in bacterial abundances are weak and negative, and bacterial correlation patterns are largely shared across hosts, rather than personalized to each hosts.
