Microdiversity of the Vaginal Microbiome is Associated with Preterm Birth

The paper analyzes vaginal microbiome metagenomic data to identify genetic diversity and antimicrobial resistance gene associations with preterm birth.

Deep learning-based quantification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in plant roots

AMFinder uses deep learning to automatically quantify arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi colonisation in plant roots, improving accuracy and reproducibility over manual methods.

Resource conservation manifests in the genetic code

The paper shows that nutrient conservation exerts selective pressure on microbial coding sequences and is linked to the structure of the genetic code.

Centrin-anchored hydrodynamic shape changes underpin active nuclear rerouting in branched hyphae of an oomycete pathogen

The paper investigates nuclear dynamics in Phytophthora palmivora hyphae, finding that active nuclear rerouting and hydrodynamic shape changes occur, contrasting with fungal mechanisms.

Modeling the temporal dynamics of the gut microbial community in adults and infants

The paper introduces MTV-LMM, a model for predicting gut microbiome temporal dynamics, and shows it outperforms existing methods by revealing significant time-dependent microbial patterns in both infants and adults.
