Marine planktonic eukaryotes play critical roles in global biogeochemical cycles and climate.
However, their poor representation in culture collections limits our understanding of the …

Diatoms, a key group of polar marine microbes, support highly productive ocean
ecosystems. Like all life on earth, diatoms do not live in isolation, and they are therefore …

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 …

Motivation With a large number of metagenomic datasets becoming available, eukaryotic
metagenomics emerged as a new challenge. The proper classification of eukaryotic nuclear …

Virophages are small dsDNA viruses that hijack the machinery of giant viruses during the co-
infection of a protist (ie, microeukaryotic) host and represent an exceptional case of …

Metagenomics is a powerful method for interpreting the ecological roles and physiological
capabilities of mixed microbial communities. Yet, many tools for processing metagenomic …

Bio-organic fertilizers (BOF) containing both organic amendments and beneficial
microorganisms have been consistently shown to improve soils fertility and yield. However …

The ever-increasing number of available microbial genomes and metagenomes provides
new opportunities to investigate the links between niche partitioning and genome evolution …

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 …

Background With the advent of metagenomics, the importance of microorganisms and how
their interactions are relevant to ecosystem resilience, sustainability, and human health has …
