Evidence for a core set of microbial lichen symbionts from a global survey of metagenomes

The paper analyzes 437 lichen metagenomes globally and identifies a core set of microbial symbionts common across lichen symbioses.

A mouse model of occult intestinal colonization demonstrating antibiotic-induced outgrowth of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae

This study develops a mouse model to study occult colonization and antibiotic-induced outgrowth of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, identifying factors that predict susceptibility to outgrowth.

Massive expansion of human gut bacteriophage diversity

The paper introduces the Gut Phage Database (GPD), a large collection of gut bacteriophage genomes, and identifies widespread viral diversity and gene flow networks in the human gut.

Unifying the known and unknown microbial coding sequence space

The paper presents a framework and workflow to integrate genes of unknown function into genomic analysis, quantifying their diversity and relevance across biomes and providing a resource for studying Cand. Patescibacteria.

Phylogenomics of expanding uncultured environmental Tenericutes provides insights into their pathogenicity and evolutionary relationship with Bacilli

This study expands the analysis of uncultured environmental Tenericutes using 840 genomes, revealing their functional patterns, evolutionary relationships with Bacilli, and potential roles in gut microbiome stability.

A unified sequence catalogue of over 280,000 genomes obtained from the human gut microbiome

The paper presents a comprehensive genomic resource of over 280,000 human gut microbiome genomes and their protein sequences, highlighting gaps in functional annotations and genomic diversity.
