This study characterizes the oral microbiota of chronically homeless adults in Mexico City, finding higher bacterial diversity and the presence of extremophile bacteria not typically found in humans.

The paper analyzes ICE content and variability in 1011 H. pylori strains, showing their prevalence, gene erosion, and role in shaping genome architecture through horizontal transfer and recombination.

This study develops a tool to analyze transposable element expression in single-cell RNA sequencing data and builds an atlas showing TEs delineate cell types in human PBMCs.

The paper models how the microbiome contributes to phenotype heritability by showing that host-microbiota interactions increase phenotypic variability and reduce missing heritability.
