TL;DR: The Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation (CAMI) challenge has engaged the global developer community to benchmark their programs on highly complex and realistic data sets, generated from ∼700 newly sequenced microorganisms and ∼600 novel viruses and plasmids and representing common experimental setups as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Signs of positive selection in genes involved in chemoreception, detoxification and digestion, and copy number variation in the two latter gene families are found, suggesting an adaptive role for structural variation.

TL;DR: A significant reduction of mating success in F1 in one direction of the cross and a high level of microsatellite markers showing transmission ratio distortion in the F2 progeny support the existence of post-zygotic reproductive isolation between the two laboratory strains.

TL;DR: A novel reference-free method meant to compress data issued from high throughput sequencing technologies, based on a reference probabilistic de Bruijn Graph, which allows to obtain higher compression rates without losing pertinent information for downstream analyses.

TL;DR: The results strongly support the view that the most recent human strata have arisen by Y inversions and suggest that inversions have played a major role in the differentiation of the authors' sex chromosomes.
