Protein domains are the basic units of proteins that can fold, function, and evolve
independently. Knowledge of protein domains is critical for protein classification …

INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

Bacteriophages typically have small genomes and depend on their bacterial hosts for
replication. Here we sequenced DNA from diverse ecosystems and found hundreds of …

Candidate phyla radiation (CPR) bacteria separate phylogenetically from other bacteria, but
the organismal distribution of their protein families remains unclear. Here, we leveraged …

Diatoms are one of the most successful and ecologically important groups of eukaryotic
phytoplankton in the modern ocean. Deciphering their genomes is a key step towards better …

Currently described members of Elusimicrobia, a relatively recently defined phylum, are
animal-associated and rely on fermentation. However, free-living Elusimicrobia have been …

Predicting responses of plankton to variations in essential nutrients is hampered by limited
in situ measurements, a poor understanding of community composition, and the lack of …

DPANN are small-celled archaea that are generally predicted to be symbionts, and in some
cases are known episymbionts of other archaea. As the monophyly of the DPANN remains …

Wheat has been domesticated into a large number of agricultural environments and has the
ability to adapt to diverse environments. To understand this process, we survey genotype …

Background Biochemical and regulatory pathways have until recently been thought and
modelled within one cell type, one organism and one species. This vision is being …
