IDBac provides a centralized database and platform for bacterial identification via MALDI-TOF MS, enabling spectral comparison and analysis of bacterial isolates.

Comparative mushroom genomics and fly-rearing experiments reveal an alternative psilocybin biosynthetic gene cluster in Inocybe corydalina, horizontal transfer of the canonical cluster, and incomplete defense against dipteran larvae.

SeqForge provides a scalable toolkit for alignment-based searches, motif detection, and sequence curation in metagenomic datasets, reducing the need for custom scripting.

The paper identifies a new Nocardiopsis strain from Great Salt Lake that produces mycolic acids, expanding the known taxonomic range of mycolic acid biosynthesis.

The paper tracks a multidrug-resistant E. coli lineage over years, identifies a globally distributed resistance island, and finds resistance gene co-occurrence networks and antibiotic tolerance in isolates lacking known resistance mechanisms.

ReGAIN identifies and maps resistance gene networks in bacterial pathogens using Bayesian networks, providing insights into co-occurrence patterns and antimicrobial resistance dynamics.

The paper investigates bacterial diversity and natural product potential in Great Salt Lake sediment, identifying a new Saccharomonospora species and characterizing genomic features of Actinomycetota.
