The paper uses metaHi-C to identify active phage-host interactions in a freshwater microbial community, revealing ecological patterns and evolutionary dynamics.

The paper investigates eco-evolutionary dynamics in deep groundwater microbiomes by analyzing cross-feeding interactions and genome size relationships across different depths.

This study examines genome evolution in diatom-Richelia symbioses, showing genome reduction and increased host dependency in endobionts compared to periplasmic and epibionts.

The paper screens metagenomic data to identify methioninases, revealing their prevalence in anaerobic microbes and potential role in syntrophic interactions.

The paper examines microbial metabolic capabilities and spatial distribution along a redox gradient to show that background metabolic differences and spatial partitioning prevent ecological equivalence among microbes.

mOTUpan estimates core-genomes from diverse genomes using a Bayesian approach, outperforming existing tools at lower completeness thresholds.
