Hologenomics of xylotrophic bivalves reveals a minimalist, remote-acting evolutionary strategy of wood digestion

This study investigates the hologenomic strategy of wood-digesting bivalves, revealing a streamlined symbiotic system for efficient cellulose breakdown.

The genetic repertoire of the deep sea: from sequence to structure and function

This study analyzes the genetic diversity of the deep sea, linking protein structures to genetic variants and identifying biotechnologically relevant features.

Multimodal AI Decodes Extreme Environment Functional Dark Matter Beyond Homology

The paper develops ACCESS, a multimodal graph neural network to annotate functional dark matter proteins from extreme environments beyond homology-based methods.

Cold seeps are hotspots of deep-sea nitrogen-loss driven by microorganisms across 21 phyla

This study identifies cold seeps as significant nitrogen-loss hotspots, revealing diverse microbial communities and active nitrogen-loss genes across multiple phyla.

Phenotypic Plasticity of Symbiotic Organ Highlight Deep-sea Mussel as Model Species in Monitoring Exploitation of Deep-sea Methane Hydrate

This study investigates the phenotypic plasticity of deep-sea mussels under methane deprivation, revealing their adaptive responses and resilience to methane hydrate exploitation.

Single-cell perspectives on the function and development of deep-sea mussel bacteriocytes

The paper withdraws due to insufficient data and experimental evidence, acknowledging limitations in single-cell transcriptomics and in situ hybridization.
