This study shows that removing rRNAs and tobamoviruses from wastewater metatranscriptomes improves detection of low-abundance viruses and pathogens.

This study examines how pesticide exposure and RNA virus loadings affect the honey bee gut microbiome across Canadian agroecosystems, identifying consistent bacterial-virus and pesticide-microbe associations.

The paper uses tissue-resolved proteomics to analyze how pesticide and pathogen stressors affect honey bee tissues across crop ecosystems, finding stable tissue-specific patterns and crop-associated changes.

The paper models cyanobacterial consortia to identify a consistent core microbiome across different hosts and inoculation sources.

CANT-HYD provides a database of HMMs for annotating hydrocarbon degradation marker genes, showing widespread metabolic potential and scalability in metagenomic analysis.
