Interactions between time on diet, antibiotic treatment, and liver abscess development on the fecal microbiome of beef cattle

The paper examines how diet duration, antibiotic treatment, and liver abscess development affect fecal microbiome composition in beef cattle, finding that time on diet explains most variance and antibiotic treatment increases differences between abscessed and normal animals.

Ability of the misfolding avoidance hypothesis to explain protein evolutionary rates in the light of empirical evidence

This study evaluates the misfolding avoidance hypothesis by analyzing protein stability and aggregation data in E. coli and H. sapiens, finding no strong correlation between evolutionary rates and protein stability.

Molecular function limits divergent protein evolution on planetary timescales

The paper examines how molecular function constrains protein divergence over time, finding that sequence and structural similarities stabilize after ~1-2 billion years of evolution.

Avoidance of toxic misfolding and protein stability do not explain the sequence constraints of highly expressed proteins

The paper re-analyzes proteome-scale stability data and finds no correlation between protein stability and abundance, challenging the misfolding avoidance hypothesis.
