Environmental genomics has focused mainly on prokaryotes, leaving microbial eukaryote diversity poorly understood. Using ~20,000 mitochondrial genomes from 3,400 lake metagenomes worldwide, this study...

An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team had been sharing its research with the company’s A.I. model, Claude, and that its new finding matched their work.

Abstract. Large phylogenetic trees are often unbalanced near the root, with a species-depauperate lineage sister to a far more species-rich clade. The spec

A new collaboration will tackle major technical challenges currently limiting protist genomics, helping to unlock the potential of protist research for biomanufacturing, sustainable agriculture and environmental applications.

This Community Page presents the 100 Diatom Genomes Project, which aims to sequence the genomes and transcriptomes of 100 diatom species across major lineages, life forms and ecological strategies. Th...

Adaptation in protein-coding sequences can be detected from multiple sequence alignments across species or alternatively by leveraging polymorphism...

Phytoplankton fix half of global CO2 annually and drive key global nutrient cycles. They depend on interactions with bacteria, viruses, and protists. Yet our understanding of these interactions remain...

Nature - If reviewers can’t reliably tell the difference between top grant proposals, why should they pretend they can? A new wave of funders is turning to lotteries to break the tie.

Molecular clock and preservation of early microfossil assemblages suggest that eukaryotes were present and already diverse more than ~1600 million ...

Metabarcoding of environmental and ancient environmental DNA (eDNA and sedaDNA) is a powerful approach for studying and monitoring marine communities. However, its effectiveness is limited by the avai...

Photosynthetic organelles (plastids), which originated via primary endosymbiosis between an Archaeplastida ancestor and cyanobacteria, have shaped the Earth's oxygen-rich atmosphere and spread across ...

I wanted to like QED's new 1% ranking. I don't.

Abstract. We investigate patterns of phylogenetic selectivity of extinction in early aquatic vertebrates from the Silurian to the Carboniferous, an interva
