    Abstract The human microbiome is a dynamic community of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms. Both the composition of the microbiome (the microbes that are present and their relative abundances) and the temporal variability of the microbiome (the magnitude of changes in their composition across time, called volatility) has been associated with human health. However, the effect of unbalanced sampling intervals and differential read depth on the estimates of microbiome volatility has not been thoroughly assessed. Using four publicly available gut and vaginal microbiome time series, we subsampled the datasets to several sampling intervals and read depths and then compared additive, multiplicative, centered log ratio (CLR)-based, qualitative, and distance-based measures of microbiome volatility between the conditions. We find that longer sampling intervals are associated with larger quantitative measures of change (particularly for common taxa), but not with qualitative measures of change or distance-based volatility quantification. A lower sequencing read depth is associated with smaller multiplicative, CLR-based, and qualitative measures of change (particularly for less common taxa). Strategic subsampling may serve as a useful sensitivity analysis in unbalanced longitudinal studies investigating clinical associations with microbiome volatility.

    Abstract The vacuolar sorting receptors (VSRs) are specific to plants and are responsible for sorting and transporting particular proteins from the trans-Golgi network to the vacuole. This process is critically important for various cellular functions, including storing nutrients during seed development. Despite many years of intense studies on VSRs, a complete relation between function and structure has not yet been revealed. Here, we present the crystal structure of the entire luminal region of glycosylated VSR1 from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtVSR1) for the first time. The structure provides insights into the tertiary and quaternary structures of VSR1, which are composed of an N-terminal protease-associated (PA) domain, a unique central region, and one epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain followed by two disordered EGF-like domains. The structure of VSR1 exhibits unique characteristics, the significance of which is yet to be fully understood.

    Abstract Methods detailed in this chapter relate to the use of Lariat-dependent Nested (LaNe) PCR to characterize unknown RNA or DNA sequence flanking known regions. A multitude of approaches designed to determine flanking sequences have been described in the literature. Variously, problems related to these approaches include lack of resolution or failure, depending on experimental context, and complex handling. LaNe-based methods are designed to harness "two-sided" gene-specific PCR with the option of nesting but without the requirement for inefficient and involved enzyme preprocessing steps.

    Abstract The loading of amplicons onto solid supports such as beads during multiplex PCR or emulsion PCR conventionally has been performed by use of Solid Phase PCR or asymmetric Solid Phase PCR. These approaches are restrictive with respect to amplification efficiency and degree of amplicon loading. This chapter details Enhanced Solid Phase PCR principles and methodologies to enable higher amplicon -loading in the context of uncompromised amplification efficiency.

    Abstract The question of whether it is appropriate to attribute authorship to deceased individuals of original studies in the biomedical literature is contentious. Authorship guidelines utilized by journals do not provide a clear consensus framework that is binding on those in the field. To guide and inform the implementation of authorship frameworks it would be useful to understand the extent of the practice in the scientific literature, but studies that have systematically quantified the prevalence of this phenomenon in the biomedical literature have not been performed to date. To address this issue, we quantified the prevalence of publications by deceased authors in the biomedical literature from the period 1990-2020. We screened 2,601,457 peer-reviewed papers from the full text Europe PubMed Central database. We applied natural language processing, stringent filtering and manual curation to identify a final set of 1,439 deceased authors. We then determined these authors published a total of 38,907 papers over their careers with 5,477 published after death. The number of deceased publications has been growing rapidly, a 146-fold increase since the year 2000. This rate of increase was still significant when accounting for the growing total number of publications and pool of authors. We found that more than 50% of deceased author papers were first submitted after the death of the author and that over 60% of these papers failed to acknowledge the deceased authors status. Most deceased authors published less than 10 papers after death but a small pool of 30 authors published significantly more. A pool of 266 authors published more than 90% of their total publications after death. Our analysis indicates that the attribution of deceased authorship in the literature is not an occasional occurrence but a burgeoning trend. A consensus framework to address authorship by deceased scientists is warranted.

    Abstract Metagenomic sequencing is revolutionizing the detection and characterization of microbial species, and a wide variety of software tools are available to perform taxonomic classification of these data. The fast pace of development of these tools and the complexity of metagenomic data make it important that researchers are able to benchmark their performance. Here, we review current approaches for metagenomic analysis and evaluate the performance of 20 metagenomic classifiers using simulated and experimental datasets. We describe the key metrics used to assess performance, offer a framework for the comparison of additional classifiers, and discuss the future of metagenomic data analysis.
