How do graph clustering techniques compare in terms of summarization power? How well can they summarize a million-node graph with a few representative structures? In this paper, we compare and contrast different techniques: METIS, LOUVAIN, SPECTRAL CLUSTERING, SLASHBURN, BIGCLAM, HYCOMFIT, and KCBC, our proposed k-core-based clustering method. Unlike prior work that focuses on various measures ...

Viruses are the most abundant and diverse biological entities on earth, and while most of this diversity remains completely unexplored, advances in genome sequencing have provided unprecedented glimpses into the virosphere. The Prokaryotic Virus Orthologous Groups (pVOGs, formerly called Phage Orthologous Groups, POGs) resource has aided in this task over the past decade by using automated meth...

While some reports show that physical characteristics of the baru fruits (Dipteryx alata Vog.) differ within and among the Brazilian Savanna regions, a study shows that there are differences in the nutritional composition of baru almonds from different trees from the same Savanna area. It is unknown, however, whether the Savanna’s region influences the nutritional quality of this native almond....
