Ecology has joined a world of big data. Two complementary frameworks define big data:
data that exceed the analytical capacities of individuals or disciplines or the “Four Vs” axes …

Deciphering microbiota functions is crucial to predict ecosystem sustainability in response to
global change. High-throughput sequencing at the individual or community level has …

Two energy crops (maize and soybean) were used in the remediation of cadmium-
contaminated soils. These crops were used because they are fast growing, have a large …

This publication is primarily aimed at stakeholders involved in ocean observing, spanning
diverse roles from commissioning, managing, funding and coordinating, to developing …

Marine oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are widespread regions of the ocean that are
currently expanding due to global warming. While inhospitable to most metazoans, OMZs …

We live in an increasingly data-driven world, where high-throughput sequencing and mass
spectrometry platforms are transforming biology into an information science. This has shifted …

A major biological challenge in the postgenomic era has been untangling the composition
and functions of microbes that inhabit complex communities or microbiomes. Multi-omics …

Metabolic inference from genomic sequence information is a necessary step in determining
the capacity of cells to make a living in the world at different levels of biological organization …
