The paper examines seasonal changes in microbial communities in Greenland fjords, finding that glacier type influences community restructuring, with MTG fjords showing less pronounced shifts due to subglacial upwelling.

The paper shows that mitotic interhomolog recombination generates genomic diversity in diatom clonal populations, with recombination rates exceeding 4% per cell division and increasing under stress.

The paper identifies genes responding to sex-inducing pheromones in the diatom Seminavis robusta and links them to sexual reproduction processes.

The paper reports the genome of Seminavis robusta, a benthic diatom, revealing gene family expansions and adaptations related to light and oxygen sensing, and provides insights into genetic diversity and gene function in benthic diatoms.
