Extensive single-cell genomics reveals bacterial diversity and diverse phage host ranges in the area in and around the Red Sea

The paper develops a single-cell genome sequencing platform, SAG-gel, to analyze microbial diversity in Red Sea environments, revealing 734 partial genomes from 231 species, most of which are newly identified.

DeepSVP: Integration of genotype and phenotype for structural variant prioritization using deep learning

DeepSVP prioritizes pathogenic structural variants by integrating genotype and phenotype data using deep learning, improving benchmark performance and identifying novel variants in consanguineous families.

A single neuron subset governs a single coactive neuron circuit in Hydra vulgaris , representing a prototypic feature of neural evolution

The paper identifies a single neuron subset in Hydra that forms a coactive motor circuit, suggesting a fundamental feature of early nervous systems.

Integrated metabolic modeling, culturing and transcriptomics explains enhanced virulence of V. cholerae during co-infection with ETEC

This study uses genome-scale metabolic models and co-culture experiments to show that V. cholerae grows better and is more virulent during co-infection with ETEC due to metabolic cross-feeding.

Ontology-based prediction of cancer driver genes

This paper introduces a method to predict cancer driver genes using ontology-based features and validates it in nasopharyngeal and colorectal cancers.

Finding Nemo’s Genes: A chromosome-scale reference assembly of the genome of the orange clownfish Amphiprion percula

This paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly for the orange clownfish, providing a valuable resource for studying reef fish ecology and evolution.
