TaxTriage is a metagenomic analysis pipeline that detects putative pathogens in sequencing data using read classification, mapping, and de novo assembly, with comparable performance to cloud-based tools.

This study overexpresses NPQ genes in C4 plant Setaria viridis to compare photoprotection mechanisms with C3 plants, finding shared and unique traits that could improve crop resilience.

This study overexpresses NPQ-related genes in Setaria viridis to assess NPQ acclimation rates, finding faster NPQ induction but no photosynthetic benefit.

This study compares Oxford Nanopore R9.4.1 and R10.4.1 sequencing chemistries for resolving the hemagglutinin cleavage site in avian influenza viruses, finding improved accuracy with R10.4.1.

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly for the Setaria viridis cultivar ME034V using ultra-long nanopore sequencing and identifies structural variants and expanded gene families.

This paper develops a method to preserve cell-free protein expression systems under heat stress for on-demand protein production in adverse conditions.
