The paper develops a method to detect recombination breakpoints and signs of human-made manipulation in viral sequences, finding no evidence of such manipulation in SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, or SARS-CoV-2.

This study measures adhesive and mechanical properties of Drosophila glue across 25 species, finding variation linked to ecological factors and identifying D. hydei as a promising model for bioadhesives.

SYNTERUPTOR identifies genomic islands containing specialised metabolite gene clusters in microbial genomes, detecting clusters missed by existing tools.

This study shows that NucS, a mismatch repair endonuclease in Streptomyces, reduces mutation rates by correcting G/T mismatches and influences the mutational spectrum along the chromosome.

The paper shows that ribosomal RNA operons in Streptomyces define a central functional compartment in the chromosome, with dense core genes and high expression levels.
