Microbial interaction networks can rewire in response to host and environmental factors, yet most existing methods for network estimation treat the covariance structure as static across samples. We pr...
Understanding differences in microbial community structure is critical for uncovering risk factors and mechanisms underlying diseases such as colorectal cancer and preterm birth. Microbiome data prese...
Marine microbiomes play a crucial role in oceanic ecosystems, influencing biogeochemical cycles, climate regulation, and marine biodiversity. Accurate characterization of these microbial communities r...
The hadal zone presents one of the most extreme environments on Earth. While amphipods dominate this realm, the adaptive mechanisms of their resident gut microbiota are not fully understood, which is ...
Coral diseases are increasing in prevalence, accelerating the global decline of tropical reefs, which threatens over 25% of marine biodiversity and vital ecosystem services for human societies. While ...
Biomass valorization has become a central strategy in the transition toward a circular bioeconomy, enabling the conversion of underutilized terrestrial and marine resources into value-added functional...
Microbially-derived polyketides include some of today's most valuable medicines, yet their discovery has focused on a narrow subset of Earth's microbial biodiversity. Although understudied biomes such...
The deep sea is home to a vast and largely unexplored microbial biosphere, along with large amounts of complex organic matter (COM). However, the functional capacity of the deep-sea microbiome to meta...
Deep-sea exploration traditionally focuses on visible animal oases, but extreme pressure in hadal zones (>60 MPa) unlocks metabolic capacities and supports flourishing microbiomes. Beyond the deep sea...
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...
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food-producing sector globally, yet intensive farming in China has led to severe ecological degradation of coastal marine pastures, including habitat loss, disease o...
Secondary adaptation of amphibians to marine environments is exceptionally rare. The crab-eating frog, Fejervarya cancrivora, is the only known amphibian capable of completing its life cycle in intert...
Anthropogenic disturbances increasingly compromise marine environments, with severe consequences for vulnerable coral ecosystems. While global stressor impacts on stony corals are well-documented, the...
The marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool is one of Earth's largest carbon reservoirs and a critical regulator of global carbon flux, yet the microbe-molecule interactions governing it remain lar...
Sponges are important members of shallow-water, benthic ecosystems, where they often rely on their microbial symbionts to acquire organic or inorganic carbon. Sponges are also found in the deep sea, h...
While chemosymbiosis offers deep-sea bathymodioline mussels a critical metabolic advantage, this dependence makes them vulnerable when removed from their native environment, and their early post-recov...
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...
