Journal ArticleDOI
Supervised classification of microbiota mitigates mislabeling errors
Dan Knights,Justin Kuczynski,Omry Koren,Ruth E. Ley,Dawn Field,Rob Knight,Rob Knight,Todd Z. DeSantis,Scott T. Kelley +8 more
TL;DR: Automated detection of errors in metadata on biological interpretations and the mitigation of such errors will be important as datasets become increasingly large and complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coprolites reveal ecological interactions lost with the extinction of New Zealand birds
Alexander P. Boast,Alexander P. Boast,Alexander P. Boast,Laura S. Weyrich,Jamie R. Wood,Jessica L. Metcalf,Rob Knight,Alan Cooper +7 more
TL;DR: High-throughput sequencing of ancient eukaryotic DNA from coprolites is used to reconstruct aspects of the biology and ecology of four species of extinct moa and the critically endangered kakapo parrot from New Zealand, suggesting these birds played a role in dispersing fungi that are key to NZ's natural forest ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in bacterial and eukaryotic communities during sewage decomposition in Mississippi river water.
Asja Korajkic,Laura Wegener Parfrey,Brian R. McMinn,Yoshiki Vazquez Baeza,Will VanTeuren,Rob Knight,Orin C. Shanks +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated decay of sewage in the upper Mississippi River using Illumina sequencing of 16S and 18S rRNA gene hypervariable regions and qPCR for human-associated and general fecal Bacteroidales indicators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ipsilesional trajectory control is related to contralesional arm paralysis after left hemisphere damage
Kathleen Y. Haaland,Kathleen Y. Haaland,Sydney Y. Schaefer,Rob Knight,John C. Adair,John C. Adair,Alvaro Magalhaes,Alvaro Magalhaes,Joseph Sadek,Joseph Sadek,Robert L. Sainburg +10 more
TL;DR: The paretic groups had damage to a larger number of areas within the motor system than the non-paretic group suggesting that such damage increases the probability of ipsilesional deficits in dynamic control for modulating torque amplitude after left hemisphere damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioinformatics Assessment of β-Myosin Mutations Reveals Myosin's High Sensitivity to Mutations
TL;DR: It is reported that the distribution of mutations along the beta-myosin gene is not homogeneous, and that myosin is a highly constrained molecule with an uncommon sensitivity to amino acid substitutions.
