DecoDiPhy deconvolves phylogenetic distance mixtures to improve interpretability and downstream analysis in metagenomics.

CONSULT-II improves taxonomic classification and profiling by combining locality-sensitive hashing with heuristics, achieving higher accuracy for novel species.

RESPECT estimates genome length and repeat spectra from low-coverage genome skims with <1.5% error, outperforming previous methods.

CONSULT improves contamination detection in sequencing reads using locality-sensitive hashing, outperforming existing methods and enhancing mitochondrial assembly from genome skims.

The paper evaluates how contaminant DNA affects genome skimming accuracy and proposes a filtering method using Kraken-II to improve sample identification.
