TLDR
This study sequenced DNA from complex sediment and planktonic consortia from an aquifer adjacent to the Colorado River and reconstructed the first complete genomes for Archaea using cultivation-independent methods, which dramatically expand genomic sampling of the domain Archaea and clarify taxonomic designations within a major superphylum.About:

Energy conservation mechanisms and electron transfer in syntrophic propionate-oxidizing microbial consortia
TL;DR: A functional analysis of protein domains was performed on a selected group of bacteria with the ability to grow on short chain fatty acids alone, or in syntrophy with methanogens, and indicated that confurcating hydrogenases and formate dehydrogenases are important energy converting enzymes in propionate degradation by S. fumaroxidans.

MUSCLE: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput
TL;DR: MUSCLE is a new computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences that includes fast distance estimation using kmer counting, progressive alignment using a new profile function the authors call the log-expectation score, and refinement using tree-dependent restricted partitioning.

A simple, fast, and accurate algorithm to estimate large phylogenies by maximum likelihood.
Stéphane Guindon,Olivier Gascuel +1 more
TL;DR: This work has used extensive and realistic computer simulations to show that the topological accuracy of this new method is at least as high as that of the existing maximum-likelihood programs and much higher than the performance of distance-based and parsimony approaches.

RAxML-VI-HPC: maximum likelihood-based phylogenetic analyses with thousands of taxa and mixed models
TL;DR: UNLABELLED RAxML-VI-HPC (randomized axelerated maximum likelihood for high performance computing) is a sequential and parallel program for inference of large phylogenies with maximum likelihood (ML) that has been used to compute ML trees on two of the largest alignments to date.
