Modeling complex measurement error in microbiome experiments to estimate relative abundances and detection effects
David S Clausen, Amy D Willis
Accurate estimates of microbial species abundances are needed to advance our understanding of the role that microbiomes play in human and environmental health. However, artificiall…
Estimation of cell lineage trees by maximum-likelihood phylogenetics
Jean Feng, William S DeWitt, Aaron McKenna +3
CRISPR technology has enabled large-scale cell lineage tracing for complex multicellular organisms by mutating synthetic genomic barcodes during organismal development. However, th…
Modeling microbial abundances and dysbiosis with beta-binomial regression
Bryan D. Martin, Daniela Witten, Amy D. Willis
Using a sample from a population to estimate the proportion of the population with a certain category label is a broadly important problem. In the context of microbiome studies, th…
Uncertainty in phylogenetic tree estimates
Amy D. Willis, Rayna C. Bell
Estimating phylogenetic trees is an important problem in evolutionary biology, environmental policy and medicine. Although trees are estimated, their uncertainties are discarded by…
Confidence sets for phylogenetic trees
Amy Willis
Inferring evolutionary histories (phylogenetic trees) has important applications in biology, criminology and public health. However, phylogenetic trees are complex mathematical obj…
Improved detection of changes in species richness in high-diversity microbial communities
Amy Willis, John Bunge, Thea Whitman
High throughput sequencing (HTS) continues to expand our understanding of microbial communities, despite insufficient sequencing depths to detect all rare taxa. These low abundance…
