Testing for differential abundance in compositional counts data, with application to microbiome studies
Barak Brill, Amnon Amir, Ruth Heller
Identifying which taxa in our microbiota are associated with traits of interest is important for advancing science and health. However, the identification is challenging because th…
Integrating citizen science with online learning to ask better questions
Vineet Pandey, Scott Klemmer, Amnon Amir +4
Online learners spend millions of hours per year testing their new skills on assignments with known answers. This paper explores whether framing research questions as assignments w…
Accurate Profiling of Microbial Communities from Massively Parallel Sequencing using Convex Optimization
Or Zuk, Amnon Amir, Amit Zeisel +2
We describe the Microbial Community Reconstruction ({\bf MCR}) Problem, which is fundamental for microbiome analysis. In this problem, the goal is to reconstruct the identity and f…
Bacterial Community Reconstruction Using A Single Sequencing Reaction
Amnon Amir, Or Zuk
Bacteria are the unseen majority on our planet, with millions of species and comprising most of the living protoplasm. While current methods enable in-depth study of a small number…
Rare-Allele Detection Using Compressed Se(que)nsing
Noam Shental, Amnon Amir, Or Zuk
Detection of rare variants by resequencing is important for the identification of individuals carrying disease variants. Rapid sequencing by new technologies enables low-cost reseq…
