EMBL, NASA, and partner institutions are combining genomics with remote sensing to give satellites a microbial sense of tropical forests.

EMBL and partners carried out a new TREC pilot project in Luxembourg to study how freshwater microbiomes respond to environmental change.

Eriksson et al. conduct a global marine microbiome diversity analysis and demonstrate how the surface ocean latitudinal diversity gradient is disproportionately shaped by a few species-rich taxa. Mask...

Alcohol overuse disrupts liver function and alters gut microbial communities, with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) causing half of all liver-relat…

AbstractMotivation. Data-enabled studies of microbial ecology and evolution depend on high-quality descriptions of microbial habitats, based on curated and

Summary ^^^^^^^ This release adds support for two new reference databases (ProGenomes 3, GTDB r214) and a custom database option. A new gunc check subcommand validates your environment before submi...

Personal reflections on a legendary scientist, leader, builder, and mentor

A planetary-scale analysis of over 85,000 metagenomes establishes a framework for exploring the structure and drivers of global microbial habitats, revealing that generalist species bridge ecological ...

Summary. We introduce microntology v1.0, a pragmatic controlled vocabulary of 148 terms to describe microbial habitats and lifestyles, and provide manually curated microntology annotations for >300k m...

As part of a funded collaboration with Open Targets, there are two open positions as part of a team to develop a drug side effect resource:...

Targets for drugs have so far been predicted on the basis of molecular or cellular features, for example, by exploiting similarity in chemical structure or in activity across cell lines. We used pheno...

Abstract. The eggNOG (evolutionary genealogy of genes: Non-supervised Orthologous Groups) database is a phylogenomic resource for orthology inference, evol

Abstract. Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, yet their global diversity remains largely unexplored. Here, we present VIRE, a compr

Abstract. The pervasive availability of publicly available microbial genomes has opened many new avenues for microbiology research, yet it also demands rob

Abstract. Metagenomic sequencing enables the in-depth study of microbes and their functions in humans, animals, and the environment. While sequencing data

Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDGs), typically declining from the equator to the poles, are among the most pervasive macroecological patterns, yet their generality and underlying drivers in the oce...

EMBL is Europe’s flagship research laboratory for the life sciences – an intergovernmental organisation with more than 110 independent research groups and teams performing scientific research in disci...

Metagenomic sequencing enables the in-depth study of microbes and their functions in humans, animals and the environment. While sequencing data is deposited in public databases, the associated context...
