Discovery of robust and highly specific microbiome signatures of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by Emmanouil Nychas, Andrea Marfil-Sánchez, Xiuqiang Chen, Mohammad Mirhakkak, Huating Li, Weiping Jia, Aimin Xu, Henrik Bjørn Nielsen, Max Nieuwdorp, Rohit Loomba, Yueqiong Ni, Gianni Panagiotou

“…We identified highly specific microbiome signatures through building accurate machine learning models (accuracy = 0.845–0.917) for NAFLD with high portability (generalizable) and low prediction rate (specific) when applied to other metabolic diseases, as well as through a community approach involving differential co-abundance ecological networks. Moreover, using these signatures coupled with further mediation analysis and metabolic dependency modeling, we propose synergistic defined microbial consortia associated with NAFLD phenotype in overweight and lean individuals, respectively. …”

Inferring the dynamics of diversification: a coalescent approach. by Hélène Morlon, Matthew D Potts, Joshua B Plotkin

“…Recent analyses of the fossil record and molecular phylogenies suggest that there are fundamental limits to biodiversity, possibly arising from constraints in the availability of space, resources, or ecological niches. Under this hypothesis, speciation rates decay over time and biodiversity eventually saturates, with new species emerging only when others are driven to extinction. …”
