This study investigates how cyanobacteria and Chloroflexota cooperate in forming microbial mats through motility and biofilm formation.

The paper analyzes metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data from hot spring microbial mats to show diel gene expression patterns in key taxa.

This paper introduces rhea, a reference-free method for detecting structural variants in microbiomes using long-read coassembly graphs, showing improved performance over existing methods in simulated and real metagenomic data.

The paper expands the global RNA virome by five-fold, identifying new clades of RNA bacteriophages and revealing novel virus-host interactions.
