This study uses airborne DNA metagenomics to monitor biodiversity across time and space, revealing seasonal and spatial shifts in species composition.

This study investigates how Arabidopsis arenosa adapts to serpentine soils by shaping its associated microbiome, identifying specific microbial variants linked to plant adaptation.

The paper evaluates nanopore sequencing and assembly improvements for Arabidopsis genome assembly and methylation analysis using a single MinION flow cell.

The paper introduces Air-seq, a method to monitor agricultural ecosystem biodiversity using airborne DNA, showing it can detect pathogens and track their abundance over time.

This paper demonstrates a low-input DNA extraction and library preparation method for nanopore sequencing, enabling rapid de novo genome assembly from minimal DNA samples.

The paper presents a low-cost genomic DNA extraction method for soil samples, which produces high-quality DNA suitable for amplicon sequencing and downstream applications at a lower cost than commercial kits.

This paper introduces Grid-seq, a cost-effective spatial transcriptomics method for plants, and demonstrates its ability to detect immune responses in Arabidopsis thaliana to flagellin-22.

This paper compares genome assembly technologies for the potato species S. verrucosum, evaluating their completeness, accuracy, cost, and computational requirements.
