This study shows how root exudates enhance a non-native PGPR's ability to thrive in the rhizosphere and alter microbial community composition.

The paper identifies RORA and KCTD16 as hypoxia-responsive RNAs stabilized by cCE that suppress osteosarcoma cell aggressiveness by inhibiting c-Myc.

TaxiBGC improves BGC prediction in metagenomes by using taxonomy-guided methods, showing better performance than read-based approaches and linking BGCs to human diseases.

The paper introduces a gut microbiome health index (GMHI) that predicts general health status using species-level profiling and validates its robustness across multiple datasets.
