The paper identifies virulent phage genomes in bacterial assemblies, challenging the assumption that virulent phages cannot persist in bacterial cells.

The paper investigates viral-host lineage stability and mobile element diversity in a marine community, finding that ecological constraints promote long-term stability and diversity of phages and mobile genetic elements.

The paper introduces a structure-informed phylogenetic framework to study the evolutionary diversification of RRNPPA quorum sensing receptors in gram-positive bacteria and their viruses.

EdgeHOG infers ancestral gene order across the tree of life, producing 1,133 ancestral genomes and revealing conserved and rapidly evolving gene adjacencies.

This study investigates whether phototaxis in Dictyostelium discoideum slugs is an emergent property of multicellularity by comparing single cells and slugs under different light conditions.

This study examines broad-host-range Vibrio phages, identifying genetic features and ecological trade-offs that influence their host range and environmental distribution.

The paper studies the conservation and evolution of intrinsic transcriptional terminators between Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica subsp. pullorum, finding low sequence and functional conservation despite their close relation.

RRNPP_detector identifies RRNPP quorum sensing systems in gram-positive bacteria genomes, revealing expanded diversity and novel regulatory mechanisms.

The paper identifies viral quorum sensing systems that manipulate bacterial sporulation timing through density-dependent mechanisms, revealing convergent evolution in bacteriophages.
