This month’s Genome Watch highlights how genome sequencing can be used to understand the strain-level diversity, evolution and spatial structure of the human microbiome, and to inform therapeutic strategies.
This Genome Watch explores how metagenomics and bioinformatics can aid to uncover the prevalence and biosynthetic capabilities of underexplored microorganisms in various ecosystems.
This Genome Watch highlights how studying endosymbiotic gene transfer in more recently established endosymbioses sheds light on how the algal plastid evolved more than a billion years ago.
This Genome Watch highlights how metagenomics can fill the knowledge gap of the wild avian gut microbiome and enable the early detection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria with implications for public health policy and conservation management.
This month’s Genome Watch highlights how genome and transcriptome sequencing of newly identified endosymbionts helps to connect genetic information to their protective functions.
This month’s Genome Watch highlights the systematic discovery of defence systems, paving the way to decode novel genetic functions and further our understanding of microbial warfare.
