Metagenomic insights into viral and microbial genes of Russian High-Arctic soil microbiomes [PDF]
Communications BiologyHigh-Arctic soils are extreme ecosystems where microbial and viral roles remain poorly studied. Climate-driven vegetation expansion may alter these environments, but its impact is unknown.

Genomics discovery of giant fungal viruses from subsurface oceanic crustal fluids
ISME Communications, 2023 The oceanic igneous crust is a vast reservoir for microbial life, dominated by diverse and active bacteria, archaea, and fungi. Archaeal and bacterial viruses were previously detected in oceanic crustal fluids at the Juan de Fuca Ridge (JdFR).

A rapid genome‐wide analysis of isolated giant viruses using MinION sequencing
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 11, Page 2621-2635, November 2023., 2023 We evaluated performance of MinION sequencing for giant virus genomics. Re‐sequencing of a prototype marseillevirus by MinION alone provided high‐quality genomes. As a proof of concept, we sequenced genomes of newly isolated giant viruses. Collectively, we concluded that MinION sequencing is an effective approach to rapidly perform a genome‐wide ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 920-933, September 2023., 2023 The composition and microbial activity of marine water is expected to vary with seasons and abiotic variables. To characterize both the microbial compositional and functional changes associated with abiotic factors such as pH, temperature, alkalinity, aragonite, calcite and pCO2, here we generate a reference metatranscriptome from the Strait of Georgia,

Andrology, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 756-769, May 2023., 2023 Abstract Background It has been estimated that microorganisms are involved in the pathogenesis of approximately 20% of all cancers. Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common type of malignancy in young men and arise from the precursor cell, germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS).

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 703-723, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Microbes can modify their hosts' stress tolerance, thus potentially enhancing their ecological range. An example of such interactions is Ectocarpus subulatus, one of the few freshwater‐tolerant brown algae. This tolerance is partially due to its (un)cultivated microbiome.
