Background Museum specimens are widely used for PCR-based pathogen detection, yet their potential for metagenomic discovery of beneficial microbes remains underexplored, largely due to difficulties in...

The Great Barrier Reef Microbial Genomes Database compiles prokaryotic, viral and eukaryotic genomes from seawater collected from the Great Barrier Reef, providing a rich resource for the study of mar...

Reconstructing microbial genomes from 820 reef-building corals collected at 99 reefs across 32 islands throughout the Pacific Ocean highlights the importance of conserving coral reefs as vital reservo...

Engelberts and Tyson discuss the potential and challenges of microbial single-cell genomics, emphasizing the integration of single-cell omics and meta-omics data as a promising opportunity to reveal t...

Nature Reviews Genetics - In this Review, Roux and Coclet outline current viromics approaches and discuss how they have contributed to our growing understanding of viral genomic diversity, focusing...

Syntrophic microbial consortia can contribute significantly to the activity and function of anoxic ecosystems, yet are often too rare to study their in situ physiologies using traditional molecular me...

Abstract. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) is a powerful tool for visualising the spatial organisation of microbial communities. However, traditio

The International Society of Microbial Ecology (ISME) would like to support early career scientists to attend the MBK/CEESME joint conference, Thessaloniki, Greece, 22-24/09/2025. By investing in th...

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...

In diverse environments, microbes drive a myriad of processes, from geochemical and nutrient cycling to interspecies interactions, including in association with plants and animals. Their physiological...

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

Abstract. Most microorganisms cannot be cultured in isolation, necessitating sophisticated methods for studying their (eco)physiology. While numerous appro

Nature Reviews Microbiology, Published online: 10 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41579-025-01163-0In this Review, Iliev, Ananthakrishnan and Guo explore the gut microbiota in inflammatory bowel disease, highlighting bacterial and fungal components, immune…

This Perspective presents a comprehensive and in-depth overview of computational models based on the deep learning architecture of transformers for single-cell omics analysis.

Undertake a PhD applying cutting-edge bioinformatics and molecular tools to the study of complex microbial communities at QUT.

Microbiome responses to warming may amplify or ameliorate terrestrial carbon loss and thus are a critical unknown in predicting climate outcomes. We quantified microbial warming response over seven ye...

Single-cell decisions made in complex environments underlie many bacterial phenomena. Image-based transcriptomics approaches offer an avenue to study such behaviors, yet these approaches have been hin...

The Human Microbiome Compendium is a unified database of publicly available human gut microbiome 16S samples, built with the integrated data from hundreds of independent projects. The compendium is us...

Assessing more than 12,000 metagenomic samples from across the world using computational approaches, the authors determined interactions between species that co-colonize or co-exclude Enterobacteriace...

Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) is a powerful tool for visualising the spatial organisation of microbial communities. However, traditional FISH has several limitations, including ​​limited p...
