REMAG improves eukaryotic genome recovery from metagenomic data by using non-contrastive self-supervised learning, outperforming existing tools in producing near-complete genomes.

The paper develops lrSAGA, a tool to improve genome assembly from long-read MDA sequencing of single cells, achieving higher completeness and fewer misassemblies.

The paper uses single-cell sequencing to reveal genetic diversity in Bodo flagellates and their bacterial endosymbionts, showing SSU rDNA is insufficient for species classification.

The paper identifies a non-canonical genetic code in a ciliate where UAA and UAG codons specify different amino acids, challenging the universality of the genetic code.

The paper describes two new mantamonad species and provides transcriptomic and genomic data for one, offering insights into the CRuMs supergroup's evolutionary history.
