Microbes can store “memories” by collectively altering their environment. These externalized “memories” impact how microbial communities assemble.

#Virus discovery has accelerated but linking viruses to hosts is hard. @sullivan-lab.bsky.social use synthetic #microbiomes to optimize & benchmark #Hi-C for virus-host linkage inference, applying this to existing #soil data to reveal 100s of novel linkages @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3MlAENO
Comparison of virus-host prediction from Hi-C and in silico tools. Top: Eular plot showing the overlap of viruses with host predictions obtained from the experimental Hi-C linkage approach, or one of two in silico tools (iPHoP and VirMatcher) that use different probabilistic models to aggregate output of various sequence-based features to create host prediction scores. Bottom: Comparison of virus-host predictions across all samples between Hi-C and iPHoP, shown with and without applying a Z-score filter for the Hi-C linkages. Black bars indicate congruent predictions identified from both tools and gray bars indicate non-congruent predictions. Note: Although many viruses had multiple predicted hosts from each tool, only the top-scoring prediction for each virus was considered in this comparison.

Adults with acute #dengue virus infection had higher odds of developing neurological events—including memory loss, movement disorders, and fatigue—within 90 days compared to uninfected peers.

Four graphs show the probability of outcomes vs. time since infection (days) for dengue fever patients and a comparator group. The outcomes are any acute neurological event, memory loss, movement disorder, and other neurological event. Dengue patients show higher probabilities.
