The paper presents a de novo whole genome assembly of the green shore crab using long-read sequencing and provides a DNA extraction protocol for brachyuran crabs.

The paper identifies and partially reconstitutes the biosynthetic pathway of hericenones in Hericium erinaceus using heterologous expression in Aspergillus oryzae.

The paper identifies and expresses two functional 4-O-dimethylallyl-L-tyrosine synthases from lichen-forming fungi, revealing their substrate specificity and potential for biocatalytic applications.

This study produces naringenin in Penicillium rubens using genetic engineering and identifies a novel degradation pathway for this compound.
