Multidomain triple target capture for navigating complex symbioses

This paper develops a target capture strategy to improve metagenomic characterization of eukaryotic ribosomal DNA and root nodule symbiosis genes, showing higher recovery and detection of low-abundance taxa compared to amplicon sequencing.

A Perfect Soldier: the black soldier fly as a microbial-mediated physiological resilience model .

This study uses black soldier fly larvae to investigate how diet affects microbial communities and gene expression, showing that a balanced diet optimizes larval performance.

Detection of known and novel virus sequences in the black solider fly and expression of host antiviral pathways

The paper detects known and novel viruses in black soldier flies and identifies antiviral gene expression differences.

Bioinformatic Surveillance Leads to Discovery of Two Novel Putative Bunyaviruses Associated with Black Soldier Fly

The paper identifies two novel bunyaviruses associated with black soldier fly using high-throughput sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.
