A roadmap for fair reuse of public microbiome data

The paper proposes a roadmap for fair reuse of public microbiome data by introducing a Data Reuse Information tag (DRI) to facilitate communication between data creators and consumers.

Genetic elements and defense systems drive diversification and evolution in Asgard archaea

This study identifies mobile genetic elements and defense systems in Asgard archaea, revealing their role in shaping genetic diversity and evolution.

Asgard archaea modulate potential methanogenesis substrates in wetland soil

The paper reconstructs genomes of soil-associated Asgard archaea and uses metatranscriptomics to show their role in carbon compound metabolism relevant to methane production in wetlands.

Asgard archaea defense systems and their roles in the origin of immunity in eukaryotes

This study identifies defense systems in Asgard archaea, showing their role in the origin of eukaryotic immunity and potential biomedical applications.

Inference and reconstruction of the heimdallarchaeial ancestry of eukaryotes

The paper reconstructs the evolutionary ancestry of eukaryotes by analyzing Asgard archaea phylogenetic data and infers the last common ancestor of Asgard archaea and eukaryotes as a thermophilic chemolithotroph.

Unique viruses that infect Archaea related to eukaryotes

The paper characterizes seven viral genomes infecting Asgard archaea, revealing features of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic viruses.

Evolutionary history of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) demethylation enzyme DmdA in marine bacteria

This study investigates the evolutionary history of the DmdA gene family in marine bacteria, finding it originated from GcvT genes via duplication and positive selection before coevolution with DMSP-producing phytoplankton.
