Estimating global variation in the maximum growth rates of eukaryotic microbes from cultures and metagenomes via codon usage patterns

The paper estimates maximum growth rates of eukaryotic microbes using codon usage patterns from genomes and metagenomes, revealing differences in growth potential between prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities in marine environments.

Selection-Enriched Genomic Loci (SEGL) Reveals Genetic Loci for Environmental Adaptation and Photosynthetic Productivity in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

This paper develops a method to identify genetic loci associated with environmental adaptation and photosynthetic productivity in algae by selecting high-performing strains under various conditions.

The Induction of Pyrenoid Synthesis by Hyperoxia and its Implications for the Natural Diversity of Photosynthetic Responses in Chlamydomonas

This study shows that hyperoxia induces pyrenoid formation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, suggesting H2O2 as a signaling molecule and linking it to genetic variation in hyperoxia tolerance and pyrenoid morphology.

Ribosome-linked mRNA-rRNA chimeras reveal active novel virus-host associations.

The paper links marine viral gene expression to specific hosts using mRNA-rRNA chimeras, identifying novel virus-host associations and validating the method's accuracy.

Heterogeneity and targeted therapy-induced adaptations in lung cancer revealed by longitudinal single-cell RNA sequencing

This study uses longitudinal single-cell RNA sequencing to reveal therapy-induced adaptations in lung cancer, identifying cell state transitions and pathways associated with treatment response and resistance.

New factors for protein transport identified by a genome-wide CRISPRi screen in mammalian cells

The paper identifies two new factors, TTC17 and CCDC157, involved in protein transport through a CRISPRi screen in mammalian cells, showing their roles in Golgi structure and transport carrier fusion.
