Naturally occurring plasmids come in different sizes. The smallest are less than a kilobase of
DNA, while the largest can be over three orders of magnitude larger. Historically, research …

CRISPR-Cas systems are host-encoded pathways that protect microbes from viral infection
using an adaptive RNA-guided mechanism. Using genome-resolved metagenomics, we find …

Microbially mediated nitrogen cycling in carbon-dominated cold seep environments remains
poorly understood. So far anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME-2) and their sulfate …

Methane (CH 4) is a potent greenhouse gas significantly contributing to the climate warming
we are currently facing. Microorganisms play an important role in the global CH 4 cycle that …

To date, most reports of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in fungi rely on genome sequence
data and are therefore an indirect measure of HGT after the event has occurred. However, a …

Anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea obtain energy from the breakdown of methane,
yet their extrachromosomal genetic elements are little understood. Here we describe large …

Sirsoe methanicola, commonly known as the methane ice worm, is the only macrofaunal
species known to inhabit the Gulf of Mexico methane hydrates. Little is known about this …

Microbial communities are key drivers of carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen cycling in coastal
ecosystems, where they are subjected to dynamic shifts in substrate availability and …

Палеогеномика известна как полногеномный анализ древней ДНК. В данной работе
дан краткий обзор достижений палеогеномики, включая еë историю и методы …

The technological leap of DNA sequencing generated a tension between modern
metagenomics and historical microbiology. We are forcibly harmonizing the output of a …
