This study analyzes ancient sediment DNA to identify plant-microbe association signals in a 2-million-year-old Arctic ecosystem, finding rhizosphere-like microbial taxa and functional traits.

This study evaluates dual RNA-seq approaches for separating host and parasitic plant transcripts, finding that combined mapping is more accurate and efficient than sequential mapping.

Marker genes for 26,970 species-level genome bins, 4,992 defined only by metagenome-assembled genomes, let MetaPhlAn 4 quantify uncharacterized species and beat MetaPhlAn 3, mOTUs and Bracken on synthetic benchmarks.

The paper introduces curatedMetagenomicData, a resource providing curated metagenomic profiles for analysis in R with minimal bioinformatic expertise.
