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

The paper samples and analyzes viruses in the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series to reveal population-level dynamics and functional differences, but not community-level changes over short timeframes.

The paper develops a genome-scale metabolic model for ocean microbial communities to infer metabolic processes and viral impacts on biogeochemical cycles.

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.

The paper examines gene expression in human lung immune cells after stimulation, finding that genes at asthma risk loci show differential expression and that B cells express HLA-DQA2 and HLA-DQB2, suggesting a novel antigen presentation pathway in asthma.
