Genomic and biochemical analyses of prokaryotic sulfur metabolism identify diverse microorganisms with the capacity to oxidize sulfide using iron(iii).

Heterotrophic bacteria and archaea (“heteroprokaryotes”) drive global carbon cycling, but how to quantitatively organize their functional complexity remains unclear. We generated a global-scale unders...

A thought in structures that helps us become who we want to become

In a competitive academic world, building bridges instead of walls may be our most powerful tool to accelerate discovery and rebuild public trust in science.

Genomes from metagenomes have revolutionised our understanding of microbial diversity, ecology, and evolution, propelling advances in basic science, biomedicine, and biotechnology. Assembly algorithms...

Large genome databases have markedly improved our understanding of marine microorganisms. Although these resources have focused on prokaryotes, genomes from many dominant marine lineages, such as Pela...

An inside tale: Probation extended, tenure revoked, a scramble to merge research portfolios, and more
