Functional genomic signatures predict microbial culturability across the tree of life

Iyanu Oduwole, Ashley Babjac, Taylor M. Royalty…·Andrew D. Steen

The paper identifies genomic signatures predictive of microbial culturability using MAGs from the GEM catalog, finding that cultured microbes have more conserved metabolic pathways.

Simulation-based approaches to characterize metagenome coverage as a function of sequencing effort and microbial community structure

Taylor M. Royalty, Andrew D. Steen

The paper uses simulations to show how microbial community structure affects sequencing effort needed for metagenome assembly and introduces a tool to optimize sequencing based on genome abundance.
