Genome-Resolved Proteomic Stable Isotope Probing of Soil Microbial Communities Using 13CO2 and 13C-Methanol (open access)

Genome-Resolved Proteomic Stable Isotope Probing of Soil Microbial Communities Using 13CO2 and 13C-Methanol

Article describes experiment where proteomic sable isotope probing (SIP) was combined with targeted metagenomic binning to reconstruct metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of the microorganisms producing labeled proteins. Carbon flows were tracked from 13CO2 to the rhizosphere communities of Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, and Arabidopsis thaliana.

Incorporating Emoji Descriptions Improves Tweet Classification (open access)

Incorporating Emoji Descriptions Improves Tweet Classification

Article presenting a simple strategy to process emojis in Tweets: replace them with their natural language description and use pretrained word embeddings as normally done with standard words. Results show that this strategy is more effective than using pretrained emoji embeddings for tweet classification.

Bayesian analysis of complex mutations in HBV, HCV, and HIV studies (open access)

Bayesian analysis of complex mutations in HBV, HCV, and HIV studies

This article provides a review of the Bayesian-inference-based methods applied to Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) studies with a focus on the detection of the viral mutations and various problems which are correlated to these mutations. The authors also provide a summary of the Bayesian methods' applications toward these viruses' studies, where several important and useful results have been discovered.
