This study investigates how horizontal gene transfer and selection drive microbial adaptation in Antarctic soils, finding widespread HGT of aerotrophy-related genes and strong purifying selection.

The paper constructs a global virome atlas of cold seep ecosystems, revealing novel viral diversity and biotechnological potential.

The paper determines the structure of tRNA-bound CRISPR-Cas13 and reveals universal HEPN RNase mechanisms for substrate recognition and catalysis.

This study identifies and characterizes quorum sensing systems in deep-sea cold seep microbial communities, revealing their role in regulating biogeochemical processes.

The paper investigates reductive dehalogenation in deep-sea cold seeps, identifying diverse RDases and their ecological role in biogeochemical cycles.

This study analyzes the virulome and resistome of deep-sea cold seeps, finding minimal public health risks due to low abundance of high-risk genes and non-pathogenic functions.

This study analyzes viral communities in marine biofilms on 8 materials to explore their roles in microbially influenced corrosion, finding viruses influence corrosion through interactions with corrosive microbes.
