Benchmarking Full‐Length ITS Metabarcoding Across Illumina 2 × 500, PacBio, and Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Using Mock and Soil Communities

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Metabarcoding is a powerful tool for biodiversity comparisons, where standard‐size DNA barcodes (> 500 bases) offer better taxonomic resolution than shorter ones. Still, the choice of sequencing platforms and bioinformatics pipelines may strongly affect inferred diversity due to various technical biases. We assessed the relative performance of

Human IDO2 exhibits unique binding affinities distinct to those of human IDO1

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 15, Page 4533-4553, August 2026.
Although indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 2 (IDO2) is highly homologous to IDO1, it displays markedly lower catalytic activity. We found that IDO2 binds L‐tryptophan (L‐Trp) in a flipped orientation stabilized by the IDO2‐specific residue His143. Replacement of His143 with the IDO1‐equivalent tyrosine restored an IDO1‐like binding mode and increased ...

The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

The Biodiversity of Retreating Glaciers Leaves an Ecological Legacy in Emerging Soil Communities

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
We provide the first multi‐taxa assessment of biodiversity transitions across the supraglacial‐proglacial interface, using eDNA metabarcoding across five glacier systems. Recently deglaciated soils resemble supraglacial communities taxonomically and functionally, markedly for microbes and weakly for animals, with microbial similarity declining rapidly ...

Recent advances of emergent extraction technologies to enhance bioactive compounds extraction of microalgae—An overview towards application in cosmetics

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 884-910, August 2026.
Microalgae extracts show immense potential in cosmetics for their bioactivities; emerging extraction techniques enhance bioactive compound yield from microalgae. Abstract Microalgae have attracted significant interest in numerous sectors, particularly in the cosmetic industries, owing to their rich composition of bioactive compounds. This paper aims to
