This paper characterizes DO1Cas9, a cold-adapted Cas9 nuclease from the deep ocean, showing improved activity under cold conditions and broader organismal applicability.

The paper combines long-read MAGs with short-read time series to analyze seasonal population structure and adaptive variation in marine microbes.

The paper analyzes long-term genomic variation in microbial populations from two distant ocean observatories to identify seasonal and ENSO-driven selection signatures.

This study examines prokaryotic community organization across the DCM coenocline, revealing fine-scale niche partitioning and stable phylogenetic associations.

The paper analyzes a decade-long time series to study bacterial bloomers in marine microbial communities, finding recurrent blooms across diverse taxa and highlighting their ecological relevance.

The study examines AAP bacterial communities across the DCM in the Atlantic Ocean, finding variations in diversity and structure linked to the DCM profile.

This study compares microbial community dynamics in equatorial and temperate marine time-series, finding distinct ecological processes shaping their assembly and stability.

This study shows that geographic factors have a stronger impact on marine microbial population structure than long-term temporal changes, with taxon-specific responses to seasonal variation.

The paper examines functional redundancy in marine microbiomes, finding that high-level synchrony and rhythmicity in metabolic functions emerge from lower-level complementary dynamics, supporting community resilience.

The paper uses metagenomic data to show vitamin cross-feeding is crucial for seasonal microbial interactions in marine environments.

The paper identifies a high abundance of CRISPR-Cas systems in deep ocean microbiomes, highlighting their diversity and potential for bioprospecting.

The paper quantifies plankton community structure globally, revealing inverted biomass pyramids dominated by gelatinous organisms and predicting future shifts in oceanic carbon cycles.

This study quantifies how selection, dispersal, and drift shape prokaryotic and picoeukaryotic communities in the sunlit ocean, finding dispersal dominates picoeukaryotes while selection and dispersal balance prokaryotes.

The paper quantifies predictability in microbial plankton dynamics using a Recurrence Index applied to 18S rDNA metabarcoding data from a 10-year marine plankton observatory, finding 13% and 19% of picoeukaryotic and nanoeukaryotic species exhibit predictable dynamics.
