The paper shows that mobile genetic elements drive phenotypic divergence in the insect symbiont Regiella insecticola by mediating gene gains and losses that affect host defense.

The paper identifies phage toxin variants as key determinants of specificity in Hamiltonella defensa's defense against parasitoid wasps.

This study identifies genetic and structural mechanisms of colistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae, showing mutations and insertion sequences disrupt lipid A modification and regulatory networks.

This paper analyzes the genome of Osedax frankpressi to show how genetic changes enable symbiotic digestion of bone, with reduced immunity genes and expanded protease genes.

The paper analyzes non-synonymous mutations and polyproline regions in ORF3a of SARS-CoV-2 genomes to assess their impact on B-cell epitope formation and immune evasion.
