eDNA sampling systems for salmon ecosystem monitoring

This study develops and tests modular eDNA sampling systems that enable high filtration volumes and rapid sample collection, demonstrating their utility for ecosystem monitoring in diverse aquatic environments.

In-field genetic stock identification of overwintering coho salmon in the Gulf of Alaska: Evaluation of Nanopore sequencing for remote real-time deployment

The paper evaluates Nanopore sequencing for in-field genetic stock identification of coho salmon, finding it can assign stock for 50 of 80 individuals with moderate agreement with lab-based genotypes.

Chromulinavorax destructans, a pathogenic TM6 bacterium with an unusual replication strategy targeting protist mitochondrion

The paper describes Chromulinavorax destructans, a TM6 bacterium that infects and lyses Spumella elongata by replicating in a viral-like manner and manipulating host mitochondria.

The kinetoplastid-infecting Bodo saltans virus (BsV), a window into the most abundant giant viruses in the sea

The paper characterizes BsV, a giant virus infecting Bodo saltans, revealing its large genome, unique features, and evolutionary dynamics.
