Degradation of recalcitrant polyurethane and xenobiotic additives by a selected landfill microbial community and its biodegradative potential revealed by proximity ligation-based metagenomic analysis

The paper investigates PU degradation by a landfill microbial community using metagenomic analysis, identifying metabolic pathways and enzymes involved in breaking down polyurethanes and xenobiotic additives.

Massive variation of short tandem repeats with functional consequences across strains of Arabidopsis thaliana.

The paper assesses STR variation across 96 Arabidopsis thaliana strains, finding high polymorphism and functional consequences, including novel STR-phenotype associations.

HSP90 buffers newly induced mutations in massively mutated plant lines

This study shows that HSP90 reduces the penetrance of newly introduced mutations in plants, leading to fewer embryonic lethality and phenotypic abnormalities compared to HSP90-reduced plants.

Hi-C deconvolution of a human gut microbiome yields high-quality draft genomes and reveals plasmid-genome interactions.

Hi-C contacts assign assembled contigs to the cell they came from: 50 near-complete genomes among 252 clusters from one human fecal sample, plus plasmid-host links.

The variable ELF3 polyglutamine tract mediates complex epistatic interactions in Arabidopsis thaliana.

The paper investigates how variable ELF3 polyglutamine tracts in Arabidopsis thaliana mediate genetic incompatibilities through physical interactions and epistatic effects.

MIPSTR: a method for multiplex genotyping of germ-line and somatic STR variation across many individuals

MIPSTR is a method for accurate genotyping of STR variation in germ-line and somatic contexts across many individuals, using targeted capture and single-molecule mapping to overcome sequencing challenges.
