This study examines population diversity and structure of four MAST-4 species using metagenomics and single-cell genomics, revealing temperature and salinity as key drivers of population divergence.

The paper generates single-cell genomes from marine protists to reveal genome streamlining and functional diversity in ecologically dominant species.

OligoN-design designs taxon-specific oligonucleotides from target and non-target sequences, outperforming existing tools by handling large datasets efficiently.

This study shows that geographic factors have a stronger impact on marine microbial population structure than long-term temporal changes, with taxon-specific responses to seasonal variation.

The paper examines functional redundancy in marine microbiomes, finding that high-level synchrony and rhythmicity in metabolic functions emerge from lower-level complementary dynamics, supporting community resilience.

The paper examines microbial dynamics in microalgae production raceways using metabarcoding to identify eukaryotic and prokaryotic communities associated with Desmodesmus armatus.

The paper identifies Gjaerumia minor in deep ocean waters, showing its abundance increases with depth and differs between Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

This paper develops a curated reference database for apicomplexan SSU rRNA sequences and analyzes their distribution across diverse environments, revealing significant molecular diversity, especially in marine settings.

This study quantifies how selection, dispersal, and drift shape prokaryotic and picoeukaryotic communities in the sunlit ocean, finding dispersal dominates picoeukaryotes while selection and dispersal balance prokaryotes.
