we asked for contributions from our readers for the cover of our tenth anniversary issue. We asked for images of the number “10” made using biological research tools and techniques. We were delighted to have many excellent submissions and to be able to use them all on the cover. Here is a bit more detail about these images.  <a href="/methagora/2014/09/anniversary-issue-cover.html#more-2095" class="more-link">Read more</a></p> </div> <div class="wpn-entry-meta"> <aside> <div class="article-tools cleared"> <h2 class="hidden">Article tools</h2> <ul id="wpn-share-post-47213" class="wpn-entry-user-actions"> <li class="wpn-entry-comment-link"><a class="comments-link" href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/anniversary-issue-cover/#respond" title="Comment on Anniversary Issue Cover">add a comment</a></li> <li class="sendtofriend"><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/tell-a-friend?id=47213">Email</a></li> <li class="wpn-share-bookmark"> <h3 class="toggle-bookmarking-links">Share/bookmark</h3> <div id="bookmarking-links" class="bookmarking-popup"> <ul class="bookmarking" id="wpn-share-post-47213"> <li class="facebook"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fblog%2Fanniversary-issue-cover%2F">Facebook</a></li> <li class="twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/?status=Anniversary+Issue+Cover+https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fblog%2Fanniversary-issue-cover%2F">Twitter</a></li> <li class="delicious"><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fblog%2Fanniversary-issue-cover%2F&title=Anniversary+Issue+Cover">Delicious</a></li> <li class="digg"><a href="http://digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fblog%2Fanniversary-issue-cover%2F&title=Anniversary+Issue+Cover">Digg</a></li> <li class="googleplus"><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fblog%2Fanniversary-issue-cover%2F">Google+</a></li> <li class="linkedin"><a href="http://linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fblog%2Fanniversary-issue-cover%2F&title=Anniversary+Issue+Cover">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="reddit"><a href="http://reddit.com/s/https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fblog%2Fanniversary-issue-cover%2F">Reddit</a></li> <li class="stumbleupon"><a href="http://stumbleupon.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.nature.com%2Fblog%2Fanniversary-issue-cover%2F&title=Anniversary+Issue+Cover">StumbleUpon</a></li> </ul> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </aside> </div> </div> </article> <article> <div id="wpn-post-47207" class="hentry wpn-post wpn-publish wpn-post-5 wpn-odd wpn-author-tal-nawy wpn-has-excerpt wpn-category-computational wpn-category-metagenomics wpn-category-nature-methods-papers wpn-post-tag-algorithms wpn-post-tag-amplicon-sequencing wpn-post-tag-analysis wpn-post-tag-metagenomics-2 wpn-post-tag-microbiology-2 cleared"> <p class="wpn-dateline"><time datetime="2014-09-29T14:02:42+01:00" pubdate><span class="published"><abbr class="value" title="2014-09-29">29 Sep 2014 </abbr>|<abbr class="value" title="14:02:42+0100"> 14:02 BST</abbr></span></time></p><h2 class='wpn-post-title entry-title article-heading secondary-heading'><a href='https://blogs.nature.com/blog/microbial-sequencing-at-nature-methods/'>Microbial sequencing at Nature Methods</a></h2> <p class="wpn-byline">Posted by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/author/tal-nawy/" title="Tal Nawy">Tal Nawy</a></span><span class="divider"> | </span><span class="category"><span class="before">Categories: </span><a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/category/computational/" rel="tag">Computational</a>, <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/category/metagenomics/" rel="tag">Metagenomics</a>, <a href="https://blogs.nature.com/blog/category/nature-methods-papers/" rel="tag">Nature Methods papers</a></span></p> <div class="wpn-entry-summary"> <p>Over the years, Nature Methods has published many methods to generate and analyze complex sequence data for microbial studies.

Simplistically put, this century-old technique achieves optical sectioning by illuminating a sample through its width with a thin sheet of light. In the last decade, Nature Methods has published a steady stream of papers reporting developments in light-sheet imaging.
