The paper introduces LEAPH, a machine learning tool for predicting phytoplasma effector proteins, and EffectorComb, an app for analyzing these predictions, identifying 2089 putative effectors across 13 proteomes.

The paper uses long-read sequencing to analyze microbial communities in saline lakes, finding that salinity strongly structures bacterial communities and that finer taxonomic classification reveals new insights into biogeographical patterns.

aweMAGs automates quality assessment and annotation of eukaryotic genomes from metagenomes using Docker, Singularity, and Nextflow.

MICtools is a Python pipeline that combines TICe and MICe to detect complex associations in omics data, with a permutation-based significance test.
