This study characterizes the crAssphage lifestyle as a phage-plasmid, demonstrating its persistence in the gut microbiome without causing host lysis or chromosomal integration.

The paper uses long-read metagenomics to study prophage integration dynamics in gut microbiota, finding dynamic phage-host interactions and a new class of phages.

This paper develops a deep learning model to estimate gene regulatory networks and RNA kinetics from single-cell RNA-seq data, showing improved recovery of known regulatory relationships and predictive power.

This study uses high school students to experimentally evolve S. cerevisiae and identifies mutations and epistatic interactions affecting azole resistance.

This study investigates whether interspecific yeast hybridization increases transposable element mobilization, finding that mitochondrial inheritance, not hybridization itself, significantly affects transposition rates.
