The forthcoming massive genome data generated by the Earth BioGenome Project will open
up a new era of comparative genomics, for which genome synteny analysis provides an …

Marine plankton are faced with novel challenges associated with environmental changes
such as ocean acidification, warming, and eutrophication. However, data on the effects of …

Although iron and light are understood to regulate the Southern Ocean biological carbon
pump, observations have also indicated a possible role for manganese. Low concentrations …

Polar ecosystems are experiencing amongst the most rapid rates of regional warming on
Earth. Here, we discuss 'omics' approaches to investigate polar biodiversity, including the …

Microbial rhodopsins are photoreceptor proteins that convert light into biological signals or
energy. Proteins of the xanthorhodopsin family are common in eukaryotic photosynthetic …

Micro/nanoplastic (MNP) pollution in soil ecosystems has become a growing environmental
concern globally. However, the comprehensive impacts of MNPs on soil health have not yet …

Zinc (Zn) is vital to marine organisms. Its active uptake by phytoplankton results in a
substantial depletion of dissolved Zn, and Zn bound to particulate organic matter …

Iron (Fe) is a key limiting nutrient driving the biological carbon pump and is routinely
represented in global ocean biogeochemical models. However, in the Southern Ocean, the …

Multiomics approaches need to be applied in the central Arctic Ocean to benchmark
biodiversity change and to identify novel species and their genes. As part of MOSAiC …

Aerosol trace metals have large impacts on oceanic biogeochemistry, atmospheric
chemistry and human health. Several leaching protocols have been used to extract …
