Check out our highlights from the last PLOS Computational Biology issue of 2016: Spatiotemporal Analysis of the 2014 West African Ebola Epidemic Infectious disease modelling has become an established tool to inform decisions
Fungi are essential elements of all ecosystems and provide many important services, most notably decomposition. While the classic role of fungi is in breaking down organic matter, fungi are incredibly varied and diverse, with members

This year’s American Society of Microbiology conference, ASM Microbe 2016, kicks off on June 16th, 2016 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. PLOS Biology and the rest of the PLOS family will be in attendance and are
Check out our highlights from the PLOS Computational Biology March issue: Understanding Genotype-Phenotype Effects in Cancer via Network Approaches Cancer is now increasingly studied from the perspective of dysregulated pathways, rather than as a disease
Perhaps when you think of bacterial communities you think of a flask full of rapidly dividing E. coli. But in non-lab conditions, bacteria grow in complex, heterogeneous communities composed of diverse microscopic organisms. In these
For many people, the recent festive period was more about spending time with family, eating too much and being generally merry than it was about reading ground breaking science. As such, we’ve put together
Here are our highlights from September’s PLOS Computational Biology: Model-Based Reasoning in Humans Becomes Automatic with Training Automaticity develops with task familiarity. One possible explanation is that automaticity arises when performance of the task becomes
The fifth entry for our Deep Reads blog series is written by Andreas Vilhelmsson, a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Global Political Studies at Malmö University, Sweden. His research focuses mostly on patient reporting
