An approach for coherent periodogram averaging of tilt‐series data for improved contrast transfer function estimation by Sagar Khavnekar, William Wan

“…A critical aspect of achieving high‐resolution cryo‐EM reconstructions is accurately determining and correcting for the microscope's contrast transfer function (CTF). The CTF introduces defocus‐dependent distortions during imaging; if not properly accounted for, the CTF can distort features in and limit the resolution of 3D reconstructions. …”

Replicating community dynamics reveals how initial composition shapes the functional outcomes of bacterial communities by A. Pascual-García, D. W. Rivett, Matt Lloyd Jones, T. Bell

“…The predictability of community trajectories therefore requires detailed knowledge of rugged compositional landscapes where ecosystem properties are not the inevitable result of prevailing environmental conditions but can be tilted toward different outcomes depending on the initial community composition. Our results shed light on the relationship between composition and function, opening new avenues to understand the feasibility and limitations of function prediction in complex microbial communities.…”
