Metagenomic Analysis of Fecal Archaea, Bacteria, Eukaryota, and Virus in Przewalski's Horses Following Anthelmintic Treatment [PDF]
Intestinal microbiota is involved in immune response and metabolism of the host. The frequent use of anthelmintic compounds for parasite expulsion causes disturbance to the equine intestinal microbiota.

Shifts among Eukaryota, Bacteria, and Archaea define the vertical organization of a lake sediment [PDF]
Background Lake sediments harbor diverse microbial communities that cycle carbon and nutrients while being constantly colonized and potentially buried by organic matter sinking from the water column.

Editorial: Advances in the Understanding of the Commensal Eukaryota and Viruses of the Herbivore Gut [PDF]
Herbivores play an important role in the survival of humanity, contributing food and textiles, as well as social and economic value. For decades, optimizing the productivity, health, welfare, and environmental footprint of herbivorous animals, particularly ruminant livestock, has been the subject of an extensive, global research effort.

Diversity of FAAL enzymes and prediction of their substrate specificity using FAALPred [PDF]
Abstract FAALs (fatty acyl‐AMP ligases) recruit and incorporate fatty acids during the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Their diversity, distribution, and substrate specificity remain poorly understood, which limits functional predictions from sequence data.

Nuclear genome assembly and annotation for the phagotrophic green alga Nephroselmis pyriformis. [PDF]
Abstract Prasinophytes are a globally distributed, diverse polyphyletic group of photosynthetic green algae, displaying a combination of presumably ancestral traits for the Chloroplastida. The Nephroselmidophyceae is a prasinophyte clade comprising small biflagellate algae that includes the marine mixoplankton Nephroselmis pyriformis, which was ...

Diploid chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation for Lycorma delicatula [PDF]
The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is a planthopper species (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae) native to China but invasive in South Korea, Japan, and the United States where it is a significant threat to agriculture. Genomic resources are critical to both

Atavistic Genetic Expression Dissociation (AGED) During Aging: Meta-Phylostratigraphic Evidence of Cellular and Tissue-Level Phylogenetic Dissociation. [PDF]
Aging represents an atavistic over‐representation of differential expression in the most ancient genes and under‐representation in the evolutionary youngest genes for two multi‐tissue aging databases, and tissues covering skin, ovarian, immune, senescent and mesenchymal‐senescent cells. However, some tissues like brain and mesenchymal stem cells do not
