The paper investigates reductive dehalogenation in deep-sea cold seeps, identifying diverse RDases and their ecological role in biogeochemical cycles.

This study identifies cold seeps as significant nitrogen-loss hotspots, revealing diverse microbial communities and active nitrogen-loss genes across multiple phyla.

The paper constructs a single-cell expression atlas of gill tissue in deep-sea mussels to study the molecular function and developmental trajectory of bacteriocytes and their interaction with endosymbionts.

This study investigates the phenotypic plasticity of deep-sea mussels under methane deprivation, revealing their adaptive responses and resilience to methane hydrate exploitation.

The paper withdraws due to insufficient data and experimental evidence, acknowledging limitations in single-cell transcriptomics and in situ hybridization.
