Investigating bacterial evolution in nature with metagenomics sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Do you like coastal/estuarine microbiology, time-series data, and/or metagenomics? Have we got a dataset for you #NSFfunded Metagenomes and 1,313 metagenome-assembled genomes from a northern Gulf of Mexico coastal time series nature.com/articles/s4159…
Coupling of excitation energy to photochemistry in natural marine phytoplankton communities under iron stress pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…
The global marine heatwaves of 2023 were unprecedented in their intensity, persistence, and scale, according to a new Science study. The findings provide insights into the region-specific drivers of these events, linking them to broader changes in the planet’s climate system.…
