TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted a time-series experiment by sampling the skin-associated bacterial communities of five amphibian species before and after exposure to the fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobaditis (Bd), to determine whether microbial community traits are predictors of, or are affected by, Bd infection risk and intensity.

TL;DR: In this paper , a review focuses on the coevolution of microbes within a microbiome, which shapes strain-level diversity both within and between host species, and discusses advances in methods and algorithms for annotating and analyzing microbial genomic mutations.

TL;DR: Results show for the first time that individual words in single trials were classified with statistically significant accuracy in the imagined speech condition, and delineate a number of key challenges to usage of speech imagery neural representations for clinical applications.

TL;DR: To enable simultaneous SARS-CoV-2 and microbial community profiling, the relative performance of two total nucleic acid extraction protocols are compared and one of the two protocols was equivalent or better than the authors' established DNA-based protocol.
