Marine algal viruses exhibit a high level of diversity, and closely related viruses targeting the same algal host species can stably coexist. Here we report an example of a single virus-host system co...
The Southern Ocean (SO) plays a key role in regulating global biogeochemical cycles and climate, yet microbial genes sustaining its biological activity remain poorly characterized. We introduce a micr...
Bacterial phase variation enables reversible, locus-specific phenotypic switching, often driven by DNA inversion (invertons). To identify these events, researchers commonly rely on sequencing reads th...
The Gulf of Mexico/Gulf of America provides ecosystem services derived from marine biodiversity and oil and gas resources. Threats posed by unintended releases of oil and gas can be attenuated by micr...
