The study examines URT microbiome features linked to S. pneumoniae colonisation in older children in The Gambia, identifying microbial associations and environmental factors influencing colonisation.

The paper characterizes RNA and protein expression in synthetic bacteria Syn1.0 and Syn3A, showing genome minimization alters gene expression and resource allocation.

This study compares transcriptomes of two minimized bacteria to understand gene expression patterns and highlights limitations of bioinformatics alone.
