Comprehensive profiling of genomic invertons in defined gut microbial community reveals associations with intestinal colonization and surface adhesion

The paper develops a method to detect invertons in gut microbiome metagenomic data and finds associations between inverton dynamics and intestinal colonization and surface adhesion.

Genome-wide variability in recombination activity is associated with meiotic chromatin organization

The paper investigates how meiotic chromatin organization influences recombination activity by analyzing 3D chromosomal structure and recombination rates at PRDM9 hotspots.

Nonlinear delay differential equations and their application to modeling biological network motifs

This paper applies delay differential equations to model biological network motifs, finding simplifications and insights into dynamics with delays.

Biofilm Lithography: High-resolution cell patterning via optogenetic adhesin expression

This paper introduces Biofilm Lithography, a method to create high-resolution structured biofilms using optogenetic adhesin expression, achieving spatial resolution down to 25 micrometers.
