LactoTypeDB improves species-level identification of Lactobacillaceae in foods by providing a type-anchored 16S rRNA gene reference, reducing misassignment errors significantly.

The paper identifies undescribed Lactobacillaceae lineages in stingless bees, turtle ants, and tea plants by reclassifying 16S rRNA gene sequences from public datasets.

This study shows that the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis uses a synaptonemal complex with divergent and sex-specific meiotic functions, challenging assumptions about SC mechanistic homology.

The paper develops an agent-based model and neural likelihood estimator to infer parameters of yeast colony growth from time series data, improving parameter estimation and prediction accuracy compared to approximate Bayesian computation.

The paper models spiral colony morphology in yeast using an agent-based model and Bayesian inference to infer hyphal growth parameters.

The paper uses experiments and a mathematical model to show that higher agar density increases yeast biofilm adhesion and decreases nutrient uptake.

The paper creates a hypomorphic allele of the Drosophila melanogaster corolla gene by replacing it with its D. mauritiana ortholog, revealing defects in SC maintenance and crossover distribution while avoiding severe phenotypes.

This paper develops a continuum model incorporating accidental and regulated cell death to study yeast colony biofilm growth and morphology, showing qualitative agreement with experiments.

The paper uses an off-lattice agent-based model and experimental data to show that budding mechanisms and nutrient concentration drive filamentous yeast colony morphology.
