This study reconstructs high-quality genomes of Antarctic and Arctic cyanobacteria, revealing an Out-of-Antarctica dispersal scenario within subcluster 5.2.

This study identifies a mitochondrial carrier transporter in diatoms that facilitates energy exchange between mitochondria and plastids, supporting photosynthesis.

TQMD is a tool for dereplicating prokaryotic genomes using k-mer based methods, optimized for high taxonomic levels and complementary to existing tools.

The paper assesses contamination levels in 440 cyanobacterial genomes using a consensus of six methods, finding over 5% are highly contaminated.
