Most cyanobacterial genomes are rich in the GCGATCGC octamer, also known as Highly Iterated Palindrome 1 (HIP1). Despite its description over three decades ago, the biological function of this highly ...

Microbial Ecology - The reconstruction of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) has improved our knowledge of how microbiomes perform biological and chemical processes in diverse ecosystems,...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a metabolically versatile multidrug-resistant pathogen, capable of persisting in natural and human-associated environments (1–3). Its adaptive capacity enables survival across fluctuating and nutrient-limited conditions (4). To investigate genomic adaptation under nutrient stress, we conducted a 12-week static experimental evolution study in minimal medium and sequenced ancestral and evolved isolates (Fig. 1) (2).
