Genomic patterns of divergence in the early and late steps of speciation of the deep-sea vent thermophilic worms of the genus Alvinella.

This study examines genomic divergence patterns in early and late speciation stages of deep-sea vent worms, finding that early divergence involves scattered genes while late stages show genome-wide divergence linked to habitat specialization.

A cationic lipid site at the outward transmembrane face of a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel

This study identifies a cationic lipid binding site on the outward face of the ELIC pLGIC, supported by simulations and mutagenesis, with implications for lipid modulation and drug design.

Cartography of opportunistic pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes in a tertiary hospital environment

The paper characterizes antibiotic resistance genes and opportunistic pathogens in a hospital environment using genomic sequencing and identifies multidrug-resistant strains persisting for over 8 years.
