Protein structure is conserved beyond sequence, making multiple structural alignment (MSTA) essential for analyzing distantly related proteins. Computational prediction methods have vastly extended ou...

This study reveals that closely related microorganisms tend to inhabit similar communities across all major environments and phyla. The authors term this phenomenon ‘community conservatism’, extending...

Abstract. Human activities cause a global loss of soil microbiome diversity and functionality. One way to reverse this trend is through microbiota transpla

The aggregated analysis of a large set of metagenomic sequenced samples enables the accumulation of information on the typical abundances and environments in which unknown or poorly studied microbial taxa are present. This provides a first line of information on the types of environments unknown microbial taxa are often found in and enables the inference of their abilities.
