DNA Methylation Networks Underlying Mammalian Traits

This study analyzes DNA methylation across 11,117 samples from 176 species to identify modules related to traits like age, lifespan, and phylogeny, revealing epigenetic patterns across evolution and aging.

Incorporating phylogenetic information in microbiome abundance studies has no effect on detection power and FDR control

This paper shows that incorporating phylogenetic or correlation-based trees in microbiome differential abundance analysis does not improve detection power or FDR control compared to the classical Benjamini-Hochberg procedure.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass profoundly changes gut microbiota compared to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy: a metagenomic comparative analysis

This study compares gut microbiota changes after LSG and LRYGB, finding LRYGB induces greater taxonomic and functional shifts than LSG.
