CLAE: A High‐Fidelity Nanopore Sequencing Strategy for Read‐Level Viral Variant Detection and Environmental RNA Virus Discovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐fidelity Nanopore sequencing offers a cost‐effective, portable path to uncovering viral dark matter in complex environments—but suffers from severe read‐length bias, low throughput, and limited accuracy. This study traces these limitations to core biochemical barriers and introduces CLAE, a foundational high‐fidelity platform that enables accurate,

SIP‐SRS Imaging of Cell Wall Synthesis Identifies a Synergy between Micafungin and Amphotericin B

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We employed glucose‐d7–based stable isotope probe‐assisted SRS microscopy (SIP‐SRS) C–D imaging to visualize fungal cell wall synthesis and remodeling under antifungal treatment. Amphotericin B (AmB) induced notable daughter cell wall thickening, prompting a combinational therapy with AmB and micafungin.

Enhancing the β‐Oxidation‐Like Pathway for the Optimal Production of the Immunosuppressant Mycophenolic Acid

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The most elaborate known example of β‐oxidation‐like pathway recruitment in fungi is reported, involving a 10‐step oxidative chain‐shortening cascade catalyzed by five dedicated enzymes to generate the pharmacophore of mycophenolic acid (MPA)—a novel clinical immunosuppressant. Our findings illustrate how nature repurposes catabolic enzymes for complex

A Coding SNP in GmPM30 Enhances Soybean Salinity Tolerance and Yield through the GmLEA1‐GmPM30‐GmLEC1 Module

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A natural variation in soybean PM30, GmPM30‐HapT, confers greater salt tolerance than GmPM30‐HapC via stronger GmLEA1‐GmPM30‐GmLEC1 interactions. Pyramiding their elite haplotypes yields additive gains in salt tolerance and yield, establishing a novel workflow linking evolutionary genomics, molecular mechanisms, and breeding applications via the module

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Genome‐Wide Protein Interaction Analysis in Parasitic Gyrodactylus Flatworms–Fish Hosts System and Drug Target Identification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genomic data offer a powerful tool for studying the molecular interactions between parasites and their hosts, but they remain scarce for parasitic monogenean flatworms. This study presents the first high‐quality phased genome assembly for monogeneans (Gyrodactylus kobayashii), and uses it to predict key interacting proteins between monogenean parasite ‐

Features of Recently Transmitted HIV-1 Clade C Viruses that Impact Antibody Recognition: Implications for Active and Passive Immunization

PLoS Pathogens, 2016
The development of biomedical interventions to reduce acquisition of HIV-1 infection remains a global priority, however their potential effectiveness is challenged by very high HIV-1 envelope diversity.

A Forward Genetics Strategy for High‐Throughput Gene Identification via Precise Image‐Based Phenotyping of an Indexed EMS Mutant Library

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The GeneHunter‐Gene‐Level Association (GH‐GLA) pipeline enables high‐throughput gene identification in an indexed EMS population of wheat cultivar KN9204. It identifies 5905 trait‐associated wheat genes and validates key regulators of kernel weight and spikelet architecture via gene editing and haplotype analysis.

Phenotypic analysis of various Clostridioides difficile ribotypes reveals consistency among core processes

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Clostridioides difficile infections (CDI) cause almost 300,000 hospitalizations per year, of which ~15%–30% are the result of recurring infections. The prevalence and persistence of CDI in hospital settings have resulted in an extensive collection of C ...
