This study examines epifaunal communities inside and outside water replenishment holes in offshore monopiles, finding distinct environmental conditions and community compositions resembling marine cave environments.

This study compares metabarcoding and metagenomics for fish biodiversity using standard and high-flow filtration methods, finding metagenomics detects more species in field settings and reveals methylation patterns.

The paper shows that exposure to pyocyanin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases antibiotic resistance evolution in enterococci through efflux mechanisms.

The paper evaluates nanopore sequencing for eDNA metabarcoding in Zambia, showing it can match or exceed Illumina sequencing for biodiversity assessments in remote areas.

This paper compares nanopore-based eDNA metabarcoding using 2kb and 170bp amplicons for marine fish species identification, finding that longer amplicons improve taxonomic resolution in controlled settings but yield fewer species in field samples.

baseLess detects target sequences in raw MinION data using small neural networks, achieving accurate classification on low-cost hardware.

The paper shows that meiosis in Aspergillus fumigatus has the highest known crossover rate, producing ~29 crossovers per chromosome, and can generate azole-resistant haplotypes.
