TL;DR: In this paper, an unbiased algorithm was proposed to detect splice junctions from single-end cDNA sequences. But this method is not suitable for reads with multiple splits, trans-splicing and circular products.

TL;DR: It is concluded that encouraging farmers to change the intensity of their land use over time could be an important strategy to maintain high biodiversity in grasslands, and a new measure of whole-ecosystem biodiversity, multidiversity is introduced, which integrates the species richness of 49 different organism groups ranging from bacteria to birds.

TL;DR: The results suggest that soil fungal communities are region-specific but nevertheless composed of functionally diverse and complementary taxa.

TL;DR: The soil fungal diversity and community partitioning between the bulk soil and stone compartments was investigated using PCR based approaches targeting the barcoding internal transcribed spacer of rDNA and the laccase encoding functional gene as genetic markers, indicating that lacc enzyme-producing fungi are specifically adapted to degrade organic matter in soils rather than weathering of stones.
