Cool.  Two paper from my lab were selected as highlights of 2014 papers in the Peer J: PeerJ Collection: PeerJ Picks 2015 Collection

Jenna M. Lang,  Jonathan A. Eisen,  Angela M. Zivkovic

and 

Aaron E. Darling,  Guillaume Jospin,  Eric Lowe,  Frederick A. Matsen,  Holly M. Bik,  Jonathan A. Eisen

Full disclosure: I am an Academic Editor at PeerJ.
