Adaptive duplication and functional diversification of Protein kinase R contribute to the uniqueness of bat-virus interactions

This study shows that bat PKR genes have evolved through duplication and functional diversification, enabling unique antiviral defenses against DNA and RNA viruses.

Distinct evolutionary trajectories of SARS-CoV-2 interacting proteins in bats and primates identify important host determinants of COVID-19

This paper identifies evolutionary adaptations in SARS-CoV-2 interacting proteins in bats and primates, revealing host-specific determinants of viral susceptibility and COVID-19 severity.

Bacterial, phytoplankton, and viral dynamics of meromictic Lake Cadagno offer insights into the Proterozoic ocean microbial loop

This study analyzes microbial dynamics in Lake Cadagno to understand Proterozoic ocean food webs, finding key roles for viruses and microbial guilds in organic matter cycling.

Die hard in Lake Bourget! The case of Planktothrix rubescens

This study investigates the resurgence of Planktothrix rubescens blooms in Lake Bourget after a 5-year absence, identifying phosphorus inputs and environmental factors as key triggers.

Microbial loop of a Proterozoic ocean analogue

This study investigates the microbial loop in Lake Cadagno, revealing the distribution of microbial communities and their roles in nutrient cycling and organic matter recycling in a stratified, anoxic environment.

Rapid evolution of mammalian HERC6 and independent duplication of a chimeric HERC5/6 gene in rodents and bats suggest an overlooked role of HERCs in antiviral innate immunity

This study identifies rapid evolutionary changes in HERC5 and HERC6 genes across mammals, revealing adaptive evolution in HERC6 and a chimeric HERC5/6 gene in rodents and bats, suggesting roles in antiviral immunity.
