Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) mediated by archaea is a pivotal process for methane consumption in gas seepage-associated sediments. Despite its importance in regulating methane flux, the ecolog...
The order Dendrochirotida (Class Holothuroidea) is a species-rich echinoderm group, yet its internal evolutionary history remains poorly resolved due to limited mitogenomic resources. In this study, w...
The high dimensionality of microbial diversity data from 'omics observations can be reduced using Machine Learning, with many recent studies showcasing ML utility for exploratory ecological feature fi...
The family Deimatidae is widely distributed throughout the deep sea but remains poorly represented by both morphological and molecular data. During a 2022 scientific expedition to the Ninety East Ridg...
Decapodiformes, including cuttlefishes and squid, are ecologically diverse cephalopods widely distributed throughout the world's oceans, yet the evolutionary history of their morphological and ecologi...
The rare biosphere harbors immense microbial diversity, yet most low-abundance taxa remain uncultured and functionally enigmatic. Here, we isolated strain D14T from deep-sea water, and propose to clas...
Polyploidy is rare in animals, where it is often associated with unusual modes of reproduction. Here we use phased exon capture data to identify ploidy and investigate the subgenome composition of fou...
Chemosymbiotic bivalves play a fundamental role in deep-sea cold seep and hydrothermal vent ecosystems, where essential long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are scarce. Whether these biva...
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is one of the most important organic sulfur compounds in the ocean and plays a key role in polar carbon and sulfur cycles. Sulfitobacter sp. M13, a Gram-negative and ...
Understanding how molecular alterations propagate across biological systems to drive disease remains a central challenge. Although high-throughput profiling enables comprehensive characterization of t...
High-dimensional biomedical studies require models that are simultaneously accurate, sparse, and interpretable, yet exact best subset selection for generalized linear models is computationally intract...
Azooxanthellate scleractinian corals, which lack symbiotic dinoflagellates, occur from shallow waters to deep-sea environments. In deep-sea benthic ecosystems, they serve as foundation species and are...
Cold-water coral reefs host diverse microbial communities that play key roles in nutrient cycling and deep-sea productivity. Among them, methylotrophic bacteria metabolize and cycle one-carbon (C1) co...
The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) is known for its slow metabolism and deep-sea habitat. It is thought to be the longest-lived vertebrate on Earth, with an estimated lifespan of 392 ± 120 ...
Microplastic pollution is a major environmental problem affecting ecosystems, wildlife and people worldwide. Microplastics are solid synthetic polymer particles > 5 mm, insoluble in water and potentia...
Lanternfishes (Myctophidae) are one of the most abundant and species diverse orders inhabiting the mesopelagic zone. Exploitation of marine resources has recently attracted increased interest. It is t...
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...
Shewanella sp. FeAMO (=MCCC M27737) and Shewanella sp. JL219SE-S6 (=MCCC M29292) were isolated from hydrothermal sediments from Wocan-1 hydrothermal field (6°22'N, 60°32'E, at a depth of 2995 m) and T...
Desulfobulbaceae sp. nov. strain B35 is a novel mesophilic, anaerobic, chemolithoautotrophic bacterium isolated from the Lucky Strike deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, growing auto...
Naphthopyranones represent a structurally diverse family of fungal polyketides exhibiting a broad range of biological activities, including antibacterial, antifungal, and cytotoxic properties. Despite...
