Mobile-CRISPRi as a tool for genetic manipulation in the intracellular pathogen Piscirickettsia salmonis

The paper implements a Mobile-CRISPRi system in Piscirickettsia salmonis to silence genes, demonstrating its effectiveness in seven strains and revealing Fur's role in iron metabolism.

Modeling the emergent metabolic potential of soil microbiomes in Atacama landscapes

The paper develops a computational framework to model soil microbiome metabolic potential in the Atacama Desert, identifying key species and functions across different environmental conditions.

The rhizosphere of Pappostipa frigida as a hotspot of active bacterial communities in the Andean steppe of the Atacama Desert

This study investigates bacterial communities in the rhizosphere and bulk soil of Pappostipa frigida, finding higher diversity and activity in the rhizosphere compared to bulk soil.

Life on the edge: microbial diversity, resistome, and virulome in soils from the Union Glacier cold desert

This study investigates microbial diversity, resistome, and virulome in Union Glacier soils, revealing multidrug-resistant and potentially pathogenic bacteria with resistance and virulence genes.

Whole genome sequence of Mapuche-Huilliche Native Americans

The paper presents the whole genome sequences of 11 Mapuche-Huilliche individuals, identifying novel variants and structural events, and highlights their potential relevance to disease susceptibility in admixed populations.
