Intraspecies associations from strain-rich metagenome samples by Evan B. Qu, Jacob S. Baker, Laura Markey, Veda Khadka, Chris Mancuso, A. Delphine Tripp, Tami D. Lieberman

“…Summary: Genetically distinct strains of a species can vary widely in phenotype, reducing the utility of species-resolved microbiome measurements for detecting associations with health or disease. While metagenomics theoretically provides information on all strains in a sample, current strain-resolved analysis methods face a tradeoff: de novo genotyping approaches can detect novel strains but struggle when applied to strain-rich or low-coverage samples, while reference database methods work robustly across sample types but are insensitive to novel diversity. …”

Unraveling Spatial Nonstationary and Nonlinear Dynamics in Life Satisfaction: Integrating Geospatial Analysis of Community Built Environment and Resident Perception via MGWR, GBDT,... by Di Yang, Qiujie Lin, Haoran Li, Jinliu Chen, Hong Ni, Pengcheng Li, Ying Hu, Haoqi Wang

“…Using geospatial data (POIs, social media data) and survey responses in Suzhou, China, the findings reveal that (1) proximity to business facilities (β = 0.41) and educational resources (β = 0.32) strongly correlate with satisfaction, while landscape quality shows contradictory effects between central (β = 0.12) and peripheral zones (β = −0.09). (2) XGBoost further quantifies predictive disparities: subjective factors like property service satisfaction (R² = 0.64, MAPE = 3.72) outperform objective metrics (e.g., dining facilities, R² = 0.36), yet objective housing prices demonstrate greater stability (MAPE = 3.11 vs. subjective MAPE = 6.89). (3) Nonlinear thresholds are identified for household income and green space coverage (>15%, saturation effects). …”
