PhenoAssistant: A Conversational Multi-Agent AI System for Automated Plant Phenotyping

Feng Chen, Ilias Stogiannidis, Andrew Wood +12

Plant phenotyping increasingly relies on (semi-)automated image-based analysis workflows to improve its accuracy and scalability. However, many existing solutions remain overly com…

grenedalf: population genetic statistics for the next generation of pool sequencing

Lucas Czech, Jeffrey P. Spence, Moisés Expósito-Alonso

Pool sequencing is an efficient method for capturing genome-wide allele frequencies from multiple individuals, with broad applications such as studying adaptation in Evolve-and-Res…

A note on retrodiction and machine evolution

Gustavo Caetano-Anollés

Biomolecular communication demands that interactions between parts of a molecular system act as scaffolds for message transmission. It also requires an evolving and organized syste…

Metagenomic Analysis using Phylogenetic Placement -- A Review of the First Decade

Lucas Czech, Alexandros Stamatakis, Micah Dunthorn +1

Phylogenetic placement refers to a family of tools and methods to analyze, visualize, and interpret the tsunami of metagenomic sequencing data generated by high-throughput sequenci…

grenepipe: A flexible, scalable, and reproducible pipeline to automate variant and frequency calling from sequence reads

Lucas Czech, Moises Exposito-Alonso

Processing high-throughput DNA sequencing data of individuals or populations requires stringing together independent software tools with many parameters, often leading to non-repro…

The impact of species-neutral stage structure on macroecological patterns

Rafael D'Andrea, James P. O'Dwyer

Despite its radical assumption of ecological equivalence between species, neutral biodiversity theory can often provide good fits to species abundance distributions observed in nat…

Reinterpreting Maximum Entropy in Ecology: a null hypothesis constrained by ecological mechanism

James P. O'Dwyer, Andrew Rominger, Xiao Xiao

Simplified mechanistic models in ecology have been criticized for the fact that a good fit to data does not imply the mechanism is true: pattern does not equal process. In parallel…

Inferring processes of cultural transmission: the critical role of rare variants in distinguishing neutrality from novelty biases

James P. O'Dwyer, Anne Kandler

Neutral evolution assumes that there are no selective forces distinguishing different variants in a population. Despite this striking assumption, many recent studies have sought to…

Rigid cluster decomposition reveals criticality in frictional jamming

Silke Henkes, David A. Quint, Y. Fily +1

We study the nature of the frictional jamming transition within the framework of rigidity percolation theory. Slowly sheared frictional packings are decomposed into rigid clusters…

The genomic impacts of drift and selection for hybrid performance in maize

Justin P. Gerke, Jode W. Edwards, Katherine E. Guill +2

Modern maize breeding relies upon selection in inbreeding populations to improve the performance of cross-population hybrids. The United States Department of Agriculture - Agricult…
