New computational tools are enhancing the accuracy and scalability of microbial family tree construction and biological data analysis, supporting advances in microbiome research and environmental monitoring. doi.org/hbfhxb
Smarter tools for peering into the microscopic world developed
The microscopic organisms that fill our bodies, soils, oceans and atmosphere play essential roles in human health and the planet's ecosystems.

Augmenting microbial phylogenomic signal with tailored marker gene sets - Nature Communications
Marker genes used in microbial phylogenomics are limited to fixed gene sets selected from complete genomes. TMarSel is a flexible yet robust method for selecting any number of markers from genomes or ...

How did life begin, and why does it matter? Scientists are tracing early microbial life–from LUCA to multicellularity–to unlock insights for biotech, climate science and even space exploration. Read the article: asm.org/articles/202...

Ancient cells called Asgard archaea were first discovered at the hydrothermal vent site called Loki's Castle in 2010. Their discovery has shaken up our view of the Tree of Life. www.quantamagazine.org/tiny-tubes-r...

Punctuated equilibrium, a concept introduced by paleontologists in 1972, reimagines evolution’s tempo as a stochastic burst rather than a steady beat. A new model finds support for their theory in both molecular and fossil data. @jakebuehler.bsky.social reports www.quantamagazine.org/the-sudden-s...

I'm happy to announce the latest release of the GlobDB, available at globdb.org.
The GlobDB is a database of "species dereplicated" microbial genomes, and as of release 226 contains twice the number of species-representative genomes (306,260) than the latest GTDB release.
