Comparison of methods for estimating the nucleotide substitution matrix

TL;DR: The availability of methods that are both fast and accurate will allow us to gain a global picture of change in the nucleotide substitution rate matrix on a genomewide scale across the tree of life.

Multi-omics profiling of Earth’s biomes reveals that microbial and metabolite composition are shaped by the environment

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated omics approach is used to describe the Earth's metabolome, which is a direct survey of metabolites associated with microbial communities spanning diverse environments using untargeted metabolomics coupled with metagenome analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Host biology, ecology and the environment influence microbial biomass and diversity in 101 marine fish species

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared alpha, beta and gamma diversity while establishing a method to estimate microbial biomass associated with these host surfaces, showing that body site is the strongest driver of microbial diversity while microbial biomass and diversity is lowest in the gill of larger, pelagic fishes.
