The paper examines microbial communities in Phragmites australis biofilms and planktonic fractions across lakes with different trophic states, finding distinct biofilm communities with unique core microbiomes and higher physiological activity.

This paper introduces BaNaNA, a pipeline for generating high-quality OTUs from Nanopore long-read sequencing data, showing its effectiveness for protist biodiversity studies and its advantages over short-read methods.

This study sequenced plastid genomes of 13 Prototheca strains to understand reductive evolution, finding three independent losses of photosynthesis and conservation of key plastid functions.

This study uses metabarcoding and machine learning to analyze seasonal changes in microbial communities in a temperate lake, identifying key environmental drivers like temperature and oxygen.

Tiara is a deep learning tool for classifying eukaryotic sequences in metagenomics, outperforming existing methods for eukaryotes and correctly classifying organellar sequences.
