The paper analyzes protein duplication across 1,829 archaeal genomes to assess how gene duplication scales with genome size and identifies lineage-specific patterns and functional enrichments.

This study shows that reducing nutrients increases beneficial bacteria in tomato roots, improving growth through microbial interactions.

This study analyzes microbial communities in agave fermentations across Mexico, finding that distillery-specific practices shape microbial composition, with core taxa present in most fermentations.

The paper evaluates virus-host prediction tools on a dataset of 1,046 pairs and applies the best-performing tools to a metagenomic dataset from the Cuatro Cienegas Basin, finding that alignment-free and alignment-based methods agree best when analyzing diverse viral communities.

This study investigates the genomic and environmental diversity of Solirubrobacter, revealing its pangenome, flagellin genes, and ecological interactions across soils and rhizospheres.

The paper studies rhizosphere bacteria from mine tailings to create a synthetic community for bioremediation, finding reduced diversity and shifts in bacterial dominance.
