The paper annotates CAZymes in five parasitic trichomonads, identifying 1,406 genes and revealing conserved mucin O-glycan-targeting and antibacterial CAZyme toolkits.

This paper genetically engineers and screens microbial strains to produce chemically defined RG-II oligosaccharides, revealing new insights into their metabolism and potential applications in human and plant health.

This study analyzes 60 brown algal genomes to identify genomic innovations and evolutionary patterns that enabled their adaptation to coastal ecosystems.

The paper investigates the evolutionary origins of extracellular matrix polysaccharides in brown algae using genomic data and comparative analysis.

This study identifies Ruminococcus torques as a keystone mucin-degrading bacterium that releases oligosaccharides accessible to Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, linking its role to inflammatory bowel disease.

The paper identifies novel enzymes from rumen microbiomes that break down plant cell walls using a high-throughput metagenomic approach.

This study identifies horizontal gene transfer events in Armillaria fungi that contribute to plant biomass degradation and pathogenicity.

This study reports the diploid genome of the free-living diatom Nitzschia putrida and identifies genetic changes associated with its transition from a photosynthetic to a non-parasitic secondary heterotrophic lifestyle.

The paper shows that secondary metabolism gene clusters in Xylariales fungi are linked to broader ecological roles and increased gene diversity.

This study identifies genomic traits of ectomycorrhizal transitions in Boletales by comparing gene repertoires and reconstructing gene duplication/loss histories.

This study sequenced the genome of Auriculariopsis ampla and analyzed its transcriptome to uncover genetic features related to wood-decay and fruiting body development in fungi.

This study constructs a transcriptomic atlas of mushroom development using six species and genome comparisons to identify conserved genes involved in complex multicellularity.

The paper presents the genome of the Colorado potato beetle to study its rapid evolutionary changes, herbivory adaptations, and insecticide resistance mechanisms.

The paper demonstrates de novo long-read genome assembly of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis using MinION data, revealing complex DNA repeats and haplotypic variants.
