Cristiano Malossi first came to IBM Laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland as a postdoc and was then promoted to researcher. He has applied his mathematical simulation skills to a variety of projects, specializing in ‘cognitive technologies’ capable of powerful algorithms. Read more
Over the years, Nature Methods has published many methods to generate and analyze complex sequence data for microbial studies. We cover highlights from our papers below. Read more
Nature Methods has published popular analysis tools to make sense of the ever-increasing amount of high throughput (HTP) sequencing data. Some tools in this field have a short half life, due to pressure to always improve and innovate, others have staying power. Let’s look back over some of the highlights in our pages. Read more
A large proportion of original research published in Nature Methods relies to varying degress on custom algorithms and software developed by the authors. Here we provide guidance on our relevant material sharing and reporting policies. Read more
It is no secret that imaging, and microscopy in particular, represents a substantial fraction of the manuscripts published in Nature Methods. Our very first focus issue, in fact, was on fluorescence imaging. When that focus was published in 2005 the term ‘bioimage informatics’ didn’t even exist. Even today, the term isn’t widely used and, unlike many other bioinformaticians, those who work on the development of algorithms and software tools for analysis of biological image data have few dedicated venues for discussing or publishing their work.
