The paper identifies a novel dominant symbiont in deep-sea holothurians, characterizes its genome and spatial distribution, and explores its evolutionary adaptations at the host interface.

The paper isolates and analyzes six Candidatus Rickettsia mendelii strains, finding they have the smallest genome in the genus Rickettsia and retain features of the ancestral Rickettsia genome.

This study identifies intersegment interactions in influenza A virus infected cells using LIGR-seq, showing they form in viral inclusions and are influenced by vRNP concentration and Rab11.

This study analyzes giant virus dynamics using metagenomic data, revealing year-round recovery and distinct population dynamics linked to microdiversity and niche breadth.

This study examines how variations in Stx2 phages affect Stx2 production and virulence in O145:H28 STEC strains, revealing differences in production levels based on phage type and repressor type.

This study identifies key yeast and bacterial species affecting Drosophila larval growth and shows their functional roles in gene regulation and metabolism.
