FAMSA2 accurately aligns millions of protein sequences at high speed.

Abstract. Viruses are ubiquitous in all environments and impact host metabolism, evolution, and ecology, although our knowledge of their biodiversity is st

Metalog is a repository of manually annotated metadata (or contextual data) for metagenomic sequencing data from across the globe.

Abstract. The Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB; https://gtdb.ecogenomic.org) provides a phylogenetically consistent and rank normalized genome-based taxonomy

The capacity of a plasmid to express genes is constrained by parameters such as its length and copy number. Here, Maddamsetti et al. present a computational method that enables rapid and accurate dete...

Building an open and collaborative sequence platform for both Human and AI scientists.

Brazil, the largest Latin American country, is underrepresented in genomic research despite boasting the world’s largest recently admixed population. In this study, we generated 2723 high-coverage who...

by Christoph — Having one or two 'Asgard' archaea under the microscope – after having cultivated them with great effort and even more patience – and looking them in the face is exciting, but a bit uns...

Abstract. The Bakta command line application is widely used and one of the most established tools for bacterial genome annotation. It balances comprehensiv

The Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) is an initiative to establish a standardised microbial taxonomy based on genome phylogeny.

AbstractSummary. Genome-centric analysis of metagenomic samples is a powerful method for understanding the function of microbial communities. Calculating r

Using publicly available genome sequence data generated over the past three decades, JGI researchers assess the known fraction of microbial diversity.

Peptidoglycan released by neighbouring kin or non-kin cell lysis induces physiological changes that protect from a range of stresses, including phage predation.

A tool for generating consensus long-read assemblies for bacterial genomes - rrwick/Autocycler

Advanced methods for protein structure prediction, such as AlphaFold2, greatly expand our capability to identify protein domains and infer their likely functions and evolutionary relationships. This i...

Images can be made more accessible by choosing hues, shapes and textures carefully.

Biological language model performance depends heavily on pretraining data quality, diversity, and size. While metagenomic datasets feature enormous biological diversity, their utilization as pretraini...

AbstractMotivation. The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool, BLAST, is an indispensable tool for genomic research. BLAST established itself as the canonical
