Surface adhesion-dependent DNA extraction bias points to an 'anvil effect' during mechanical lysis

Alex Batista Trentin, Roland C. Wilhelm

The paper tests the 'anvil effect' hypothesis by showing that surface-adherent bacteria are preferentially lysed during mechanical extraction, leading to DNA yield bias.

SIPdb: A stable isotope probing database and analytical dashboard for linking amplicon sequences to microbial activity using a reverse ecology approach

Alex Batista Trentin, Abigayle M. R. Simpson, Jeffrey A. Kimbrel…·Roland C. Wilhelm

The paper introduces SIPdb, a database and analysis tool for linking microbial amplicon sequences to metabolic activity using SIP data, showing it recovers 70.1% of reported incorporators and validates known degraders.
