This study examines how lifestyle differences between social classes in Classical and Post-classical Italy are reflected in their oral microbiomes, finding significant variations across time periods and social classes.

The paper introduces starbase, a database and toolkit for exploring Starship mobile genetic elements in fungi, providing curated annotations and tools for classification and comparative analysis.

The paper identifies toxin/antidote genes on accessory chromosomes in Fusarium that help maintain these chromosomes and suggests transposable elements contribute to their formation.

This study identifies giant transposons called Starships in Aspergillus fumigatus that generate genomic and phenotypic heterogeneity across strains.
