TL;DR: This research highlights the need to understand more fully the evolutionary drivers of infectious disease in response to infectious disease-related diarrhoea.

TL;DR: Qemistree, a data exploration strategy based on hierarchical organization of molecular fingerprints predicted from fragmentation spectra, represented in the context of sample metadata and chemical ontologies, which can apply ecological tools, designed around the relatedness of DNA sequences, to study chemical composition.

TL;DR: This study applied multiplexed, quantitative proteomics on the brains, spleens, hearts, small intestines and colons of conventionally raised and germ-free mice, identifying associations to colonization state in over 7,000 proteins and provides a resource for microbiome researchers through detailed tables and visualization of the protein-level effects of microbial colonization on several organ systems.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used metagenomic data from the Red Sea to investigate the ecology of hopanoid producers in an environmental setting that is biogeochemically distinct from those investigated previously.

TL;DR: Stacked Faith's phylogenetic diversity (SFPhD) as mentioned in this paper enables the calculation of this widely adopted diversity metric at a much larger scale by implementing a computationally efficient algorithm.
