The paper analyzes pot honey microbiomes to identify a novel Lactobacillaceae species complex, revealing four clades with high genomic similarity and potential roles in honey properties.

This paper identifies essential structural domains of DivIVA in Actinomycetota by analyzing truncated variants and chimeric proteins, showing that polar growth depends on Actinomycetota-specific amino acid motifs.

The paper analyzes SARS-CoV-2 variants in Mexico during the pre-vaccination stage, identifying mutations in Spike and Nucleocapsid proteins associated with symptomatic cases and proposing new variants of interest.

The paper introduces two tools, BiG-SCAPE and CORASON, for analyzing biosynthetic gene clusters in large genomic datasets, demonstrating their utility through validation and discovery of new gene cluster families.

EvoMining analyzes enzyme family expansion and recruitment in prokaryotes to identify novel natural product biosynthetic systems and their evolutionary origins.
