The paper introduces Core-Kaiju, a taxonomic classification method for metagenomics that improves accuracy in predicting taxa number and abundance compared to existing methods.

The paper creates a spatiotemporal gene expression atlas of Drosophila embryonic neurogenesis, revealing dynamic lncRNA expression patterns and cell type-specific gene regulation.

BIQ indexes backsplice junctions in transcriptome datasets to query circular RNA occurrence and abundance.

Kaiju is a metagenomic classifier that improves sensitivity over k-mer-based methods by using protein-level exact matches and optional amino acid substitutions.
