The paper compiles a global soil virus dataset to assess biodiversity and biogeochemical impacts, finding most viral diversity remains unexplored and viruses may influence carbon and nutrient cycling.

This study investigates how giant viruses adapt to polar ocean environments by analyzing their biogeography and functional genes, finding that their adaptation is independent of host adaptation.

The paper creates a global metagenomic atlas of urban microbial ecosystems, identifying novel species and geographic variation in antimicrobial resistance genes.
