The paper develops a method to detect recombination breakpoints and signs of human-made manipulation in viral sequences, finding no evidence of such manipulation in SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, or SARS-CoV-2.

This study measures adhesive and mechanical properties of Drosophila glue across 25 species, finding variation linked to ecological factors and identifying D. hydei as a promising model for bioadhesives.

SYNTERUPTOR identifies genomic islands containing specialised metabolite gene clusters in microbial genomes, detecting clusters missed by existing tools.

The paper shows that ribosomal RNA operons in Streptomyces define a central functional compartment in the chromosome, with dense core genes and high expression levels.
