Lateral gene transfer shapes the distribution of nitrogen fixation within a cosmopolitan clade of marine Thalassolituus

Soma Sardar Barawi, Julie LaRoche, Robert Gerald Beiko

The paper investigates the evolutionary distribution of nitrogen fixation in Thalassolituus by analyzing genome data, finding evidence of lateral gene transfer and recombination shaping nif loci.

Automated eDNA and eRNA Profiling for Biodiversity Monitoring in Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems

Robert Gerald Beiko, Jennifer Tolman, Soma Sardar Barawi…·Julie LaRoche

This study tests an automated eDNA sampler in various aquatic environments, showing it can effectively profile eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and fish using ribosomal RNA genes and detect taxonomic groups and antimicrobial resistance genes.
