TL;DR: QIIME 2 development was primarily funded by NSF Awards 1565100 to J.G.C. and R.K.P. and partial support was also provided by the following: grants NIH U54CA143925 and U54MD012388.

TL;DR: QIIME 2 provides new features that will drive the next generation of microbiome research, including interactive spatial and temporal analysis and visualization tools, support for metabolomics and shotgun metagenomics analysis, and automated data provenance tracking to ensure reproducible, transparent microbiome data science.

TL;DR: Feature-based molecular networking (FBMN) as discussed by the authors is an analysis method in the Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) infrastructure that builds on chromatographic feature detection and alignment tools.

TL;DR: Cavole et al. as discussed by the authors provided a bottom-up summary of some of the biological changes observed in and around the areas affected by the Blob, including geographical shifts of species such as tropical copepods, pelagic red crabs, and tuna; closures of commercially important fisheries; and mass strandings of marine mammals and seabirds.

TL;DR: An amendment to this paper has been published and can be accessed via a link at the top of the paper.
