SPARTA: Interpretable functional classification of microbiomes and detection of hidden cumulative effects. by Baptiste Ruiz, Arnaud Belcour, Samuel Blanquart, Sylvie Buffet-Bataillon, Isabelle Le Huërou-Luron, Anne Siegel, Yann Le Cunff

“…SPARTA ensures full reproducibility and exploration of inherent variability by extending state-of-the-art methods in three dimensions: increased number of trained random forests, selection of important variables with an iterative process, repetition of full selection process from different seeds. This process shows that the translation of the microbiota into functional profiles gives non-significantly different performances when compared to microbial profiles on 5 of 6 datasets. …”

Selenium Accumulating Leafy Vegetables Are a Potential Source of Functional Foods by Petro E. Mabeyo, Mkabwa L. K. Manoko, Amra Gruhonjic, Paul A. Fitzpatrick, Göran Landberg, Máté Erdélyi, Stephen S. Nyandoro

“…The mean concentrations in the leaves were found to range from 7.90±0.40 to 1.95±0.12 μg/g dry weight (DW), with C. maxima accumulating the most selenium. In stems, the accumulated selenium content ranged from 1.12±0.10 μg/g in Amaranthus sp. to 5.35±0.78 μg/g DW in C. maxima and was hence significantly different (P<0.01). …”
