Machine learning based prediction of functional capabilities in metagenomically assembled microbial genomes

Fred Farrell, Orkun S. Soyer, Christopher Quince

The paper uses machine learning to predict functional and metabolic traits of microbes from their genomes, finding that lasso logistic regression on gene ortholog frequencies performs best.

Allele Surfing Promotes Microbial Adaptation from Standing Variation

Matti Gralka, Fabian Stiewe, Fred Farrell, Wolfram Moebius, Bartlomiej Waclaw, Oskar Hallatschek

The paper shows that allele surfing in microbial range expansions increases mean fitness by promoting soft selective sweeps from standing variation, enhancing adaptation rates per biomass.
