X-Gutor is an in vitro platform that recovers human and swine gut microbiota with high fidelity, revealing ecological factors influencing microbial community dynamics.

This study shows Prochlorococcus MED4 produces light-dependent, predator-inducible aldehydes to defend against Uronema marinum, affecting marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles.

The paper identifies and characterizes Borgs and mini-Borgs in Methanoperedens archaea, revealing their evolutionary origins and genomic relationships.

CCycDB is a functional gene database that fingerprints microbially mediated carbon cycling processes from shotgun metagenomes, outperforming existing databases in accuracy and coverage.

The paper constructs a database of organohalide-cycling genes and microorganisms in marine metagenomes, revealing new insights into halogenation-dehalogenation cycling and its microbial diversity.

The paper examines microbial community diversity in a uranium-contaminated aquifer, finding reduced taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity but stable functional diversity.

EcoFun-MAP is a metagenomic analysis pipeline designed for ecological function annotation, offering multiple workflows and a web interface to analyze environmental samples.
