Waste not, want not: why rarefying microbiome data is inadmissible.

TL;DR: It is advocated that investigators avoid rarefying altogether and supported statistical theory is provided that simultaneously accounts for library size differences and biological variability using an appropriate mixture model.

Unifying the analysis of high-throughput sequencing datasets: characterizing RNA-seq, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and selective growth experiments by compositional data analysis

TL;DR: Statistical analysis of high-throughput sequencing datasets composed of per feature counts showed that the ALDEx2 R package is a simple and robust tool, which can be applied to RNA-seq, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and differential growth datasets, and by extension to other techniques that use a similar approach.

The microbiome of the urinary tract—a role beyond infection

TL;DR: Urologists will need to consider possible influences of the microbiome in diagnosis and treatment of certain urological conditions, and new insights might provide an opportunity to predict the risk of developing certain urologogical diseases and could enable the development of innovative therapeutic strategies.

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.

TL;DR: A new criterion for triggering the extension of word hits, combined with a new heuristic for generating gapped alignments, yields a gapped BLAST program that runs at approximately three times the speed of the original.

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform

TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.
