Coastal ecosystems are threatened by global change but remain understudied despite their importance for biodiversity and human society. For instance, most coastal studies and monitoring programs focus...
Zooplankton play a crucial role in marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles, and their rapid responses to environmental changes make them effective indicators of ecosystem health. However, limited d...
Characterizing open ocean biodiversity at basin scales remains challenging due to sparse sampling and limited opportunities to validate satellite-derived estimates of plankton community composition. T...
This study investigated the short‑term effects of polyethylene microplastics (PE‑MPs) on the marine mussel Mytilus edulis using a suite of cellular and subcellular biomarkers. A total of 225 mussels w...
Genomic foundation models trained on DNA sequences have demonstrated remarkable capabilities across diverse biological tasks, from variant effect prediction to genome design. These models are typicall...
Biological AI models increasingly predict complex cellular responses, yet their learned representations remain disconnected from the molecular processes they aim to capture. We present CDT-III, whic...
Nanopore sequencing can read substantially longer sequences of nucleic acid molecules than other sequencing methods, which has led to advances in genomic analysis such as the gapless human genome asse...
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...
Urbanization is rapidly expanding along the world's coasts, transforming natural ecosystems into increasingly uniform artificial environments. Yet, the patterns and processes shaping marine biodiversi...
The Mediterranean Sea is a biodiversity hotspot that requires frequent monitoring to detect ecological changes and support conservation. Within this context, the Strait of Sicily (SoS), which forms th...
