The study examines URT microbiome features linked to S. pneumoniae colonisation in older children in The Gambia, identifying microbial associations and environmental factors influencing colonisation.

This study identifies distinct microbial and metabolic features in non-lesional acne skin using multi-omics analyses, showing molecular dysbiosis extends beyond visible lesions.

Leviathan provides fast, memory-efficient, and scalable taxonomic and functional profiling for metagenomics and metatranscriptomics using (pan)genome-resolved references.

The paper identifies genetically diverse Candida albicans strains in blood cultures that differ in echinocandin tolerance and virulence, with implications for antifungal treatment.

This study compares the gut microbiomes of Ju/hoansi hunter-gatherers, agropastoralists, and Western urban populations, finding higher diversity and health-associated pathways in the former.

VEBA 2.0 is a modular bioinformatics suite that enables genome-resolved analysis of prokaryotes, microeukaryotes, and viruses from short- or long-read sequencing data, with applications in diverse environments.

This paper describes a method to efficiently form single-copy human artificial chromosomes by using a large construct and yeast spheroplast fusion to avoid multimerization.

The paper identifies diatom centromeres and shows that non-native DNA sequences can function as centromeres, suggesting a mechanism for foreign DNA acquisition.
