The fitness of an organism determines its likelihood of succeeding in short-term competition, but many other factors can influence its long-term success. In this study, we investigate the relative con...

Single stranded RNA (ssRNA) and single stranded DNA (ssDNA) bacteriophages represent a key component of the global virome, yet the host genetic networks supporting their infection cycles remain poorly...

New leader of the National Academy of Sciences Neil Shubin warns: ‘a society that loses science loses the future’.

Recently, Heng Li released MiniBWA (GitHub) alongside a paper by Heng Li and Nils Homer describing the method (paper). MiniBWA builds on the approaches in Minimap2 (also by Heng Li), but falls back on...

A biology journal that paid peer reviewers found that the approach cut the time to a first editorial decision by 85% and maintained high-quality reviews.
