MatP local enrichment delays segregation independently of tetramer formation and septal anchoring in Vibrio cholerae

The paper shows V. cholerae MatP structures and delays segregation of both chromosomes independently of tetramer formation and divisome interaction.

Phage inducible chromosomal minimalist island (PICMI), a family of satellites of marine virulent phages

The paper identifies PICMI, a new family of phage satellites in marine bacteria, showing they spread via virulent phages and confer host protection.

The slow evolving genome of the xenacoelomorph worm Xenoturbella bocki

This study analyzes the genome of Xenoturbella bocki to assess its phylogenetic position and genomic complexity, finding it has a complex genome similar to other bilaterians.

Chromosome folding and prophage activation reveal gut-specific genome dynamics of bacteria in the OMM12 consortium

The paper uses Hi-C to study chromosome folding and prophage activation in gut bacteria, identifying functional prophages and their environmental dynamics.

Homologous chromosomes in asexual rotifer Adineta vaga suggest automixis

This study presents a high-quality chromosome-scale genome assembly of the asexual bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga, revealing homologous chromosomes and evidence of recombination consistent with automixis.

Phages - bacteria interactions network of the healthy human gut

The paper uses an enhanced metagenomic Hi-C approach to identify 6,651 host-phage relationships in the healthy human gut, revealing active and dormant phages and their bacterial hosts.

Chromosome organization by a conserved condensin-ParB system in the actinobacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum

This study investigates the role of ParB and condensin complexes in chromosome organization in Corynebacterium glutamicum, revealing distinct functions for different condensin paralogs.
