Genomic characterization of Escherichia coli harbor a polyketide synthase (pks) island associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) development

This study characterizes the genomic distribution and evolution of pks islands in E. coli strains associated with colorectal cancer, revealing phylogenetic patterns and horizontal gene transfer.

What is hidden in the darkness? Deep-learning assisted large-scale protein family curation uncovers novel protein families and folds

This work uses deep learning to uncover novel protein families and folds by analyzing sequence and structural data, adding new entries to Pfam and identifying a novel toxin-antitoxin system.

Leptospira surface protein LigA plays a multifaceted role in modulating the host innate immune response

This study identifies the LigA surface protein's A11 domain as a key factor in Leptospira's ability to modulate host immune responses and evade complement-mediated killing.

Obtaining deeper insights into microbiome diversity using a simple method to block host and non-targets in amplicon sequencing

The paper introduces blocking oligos and an R package to reduce non-target DNA amplification in amplicon sequencing, improving microbial diversity analysis in plant systems.
