ten simple rules
There are many different ways to represent the same data, although the data may be perceived very differently depending on the look of the figure. Rougier et al. aim to provide Ten Simple Rules to improve figure design and to explain some of the common pitfalls.

Medema et al. introduce Pep2Path, a software package to fully automate the peptidogenomics approach through the rapid Bayesian probabilistic matching of mass spectra to their corresponding biosynthetic gene clusters. This Software paper paves the way to high-throughput discovery of novel peptidic natural products.
