MagicLamp provides a toolkit and web server for targeted microbial function annotation using curated HMMs, enabling sensitive and specific gene annotation for specialized processes.

The paper surveys subseafloor microbial communities in the San Pedro Basin to establish a baseline for ecological and microbiological variation, supporting future monitoring and research.

The paper evaluates DNA and RNA extraction protocols from Guaymas Basin sediments, showing that temperature and hydrothermal influence significantly impact nucleic acid recovery and microbial community analysis.

The paper develops a mathematical model to explain how pretreatment with PMA enhances detection of rare microbial species through thermodynamic principles.
