Composition-based classification of short metagenomic sequences elucidates the landscapes of taxonomic and functional enrichment of microorganisms

TL;DR: To the knowledge, MetaCV, benefited from the strategy of composition comparison, is the first algorithm that can classify millions of very short reads within affordable time and has a high resolution to characterize the composition and structure of human gut microbiota.

funRNA: a fungi-centered genomics platform for genes encoding key components of RNAi

TL;DR: FunRNA is presented, a fungal kingdom-wide comparative genomics platform for putative genes encoding Argonaute, Dicer, and RdRP that could serve as a versatile genomics workbench for key components of RNAi.

Shigella Strains Are Not Clones of Escherichia coli but Sister Species in the Genus Escherichia

TL;DR: The whole-genome-based, alignment-free and parameter-free CVTree approach shows convincingly that four established Shigella species are distinct from E. coli strains, and form sister species to E. bacteria within the genus Escherichia.

Comparison of phylogenetic trees

TL;DR: The metric presented in this paper makes possible the comparison of the many nonbinary phylogenetic trees appearing in the literature, and provides an objective procedure for comparing the different methods for constructing phylogenetics trees.

A Simple Method for Estimating and Testing Minimum-Evolution Trees

TL;DR: Both a mathematical method for computing the number of trees with a given value of topological difference from the NJ tree and a computer algorithm for identifying all the topologies are developed.

Whole proteome prokaryote phylogeny without sequence alignment: a K-string composition approach.

TL;DR: A systematic way of inferring evolutionary relatedness of microbial organisms from the oligopeptide content, i.e., frequency of amino acid K-strings in their complete proteomes, is proposed and yields an unrooted tree that agrees with the biologists' “tree of life” based on SSU rRNA comparison in a majority of basic branchings, and especially, in all lower taxa.
