TL;DR: A novel computational pipeline for modeling glycans degradation (GlyDeR) which predicts the glycan degradation potency of 10,000 reference glycans based on either genomic or metagenomic data and finds a clear connection between microbial gly can degradation and human diet, and suggests a method for the rational design of novel prebiotics.

TL;DR: Comparing the code error with the coding triplet concentrations in RNA binding sites for eight amino acids shows that these properties are independent and uncorrelated, and error minimization and triplet associations probably arose independently during the history of the genetic code.

TL;DR: It is argued that the publicly available data should be treated as open data, a shared resource with unrestricted use for analysis, interpretation, and publication.

TL;DR: The co-authors of this paper state their intention to work together to launch the Genomic Observatories Network (GOs Network) for which this document will serve as its Founding Charter, and to describe their shared vision for its future.

TL;DR: P pH and oxygen strongly partition the microbial community from a diseased human lung into two mutually exclusive communities of pathogens and anaerobes, and these effects were mathematically modeled, enabling a predictive understanding of this complex polymicrobial system.
