The paper links iron availability to the size structure of three mesoplankton groups in the upper ocean, showing iron's role in shaping their biogeography and ecosystem services.

The paper shows that the distribution of protein folds in marine plankton communities deviates from a power law to a Type II Pareto distribution when scaling from individual genomes to communities.

The paper introduces kmindex for fast indexing of complex genomic datasets and ORA for real-time querying of the Tara Oceans metagenomes.

The paper studies genomic variability in Bathycoccus prasinos across different oceanic temperatures, finding temperature-associated variant frequency changes and minimal mutational strategies for thermal adaptation.

The Ocean Gene Atlas enables users to explore gene biogeography in marine plankton by querying sequences against global reference catalogs and visualizing results on world maps.
