A genomic catalog of Earth's bacterial and archaeal symbionts

This study uses machine learning to predict symbiotic lifestyles in microbial genomes, identifying 15-23% of uncultivated microbes as potential symbionts and creating a new catalog of symbiont genomes.

Mobile genetic elements that shape microbial diversity and functions in thawing permafrost soils

The paper analyzes mobile genetic elements in thawing permafrost soils to assess their impact on microbial diversity and function using meta-omic data.

Scalable and systematic hierarchical virus taxonomy with vConTACT3

The paper introduces vConTACT3, a machine learning tool that improves virus taxonomy classification, scalability, and accuracy, and identifies taxonomic issues across the virosphere.

New Insights into Microbial Nitrogen Utilization in the Rumen Enabled by Genome-Resolved Multi-Omics

This study reveals alternative nitrogen assimilation pathways in rumen microbes and shows that dietary concentrate levels, not protein content, influence N assimilation gene expression.

RNA virus ecogenomics along a subarctic permafrost thaw gradient

The paper identifies and characterizes RNA viruses in permafrost soil over four years, showing their diversity is structured by habitat and linked to greenhouse gas emissions.
