Host taxonomy determines the composition, structure, and diversity of the earthworm cast microbiome under homogenous feeding conditions

January 6, 2026

Host evolutionary history is a key factor shaping the earthworm cast microbiome, although its effect can be shadowed by the earthworm’s diet.

Taxonomic composition of bacteriomes. Venn diagrams representing the core unique and shared microbiomes in cows faecal material and milk samples, and mouse faecal material and mammary tissues. Bacterial species detected in A cows faecal material, B cows milk, C mouse faecal material and D mouse mammary tissues. E Unique and shared bacterial species in CM, and F unique and shared bacterial species in H metagenomes of both cows and mice. Bacterial species shared in cow and mouse mastitis

Induction of mastitis by cow-to-mouse fecal and milk microbiota transplantation causes microbiome dysbiosis and genomic functional perturbation in mice

January 6, 2026

To understand the host-tropism phenomena of bovine-tropic mastitis microbiomes, we developed a cow-to-mouse mastitis model.

Differential expression of single-cell RNA-seq data using Tweedie models

January 6, 2026

To model the technological variability in cross-platform scRNA-seq data, here we propose to use Tweedie generalized linear models.

The Hi-C contact heat maps obtained after manual correction of genome assemblies. A, A. coluzzii AcolMOP1. B, A. arabiensis AaraD3. From left to right in each heat map, chromosome X, chromosome 2 (2R+2L), chromosome 3 (3R+3L). The heat maps were produced by JBAT.

Chromosome-level genome assemblies of the malaria vectors Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles arabiensis

January 6, 2026

We produced chromosome-level genome assemblies for A. coluzzii and A. arabiensis using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology and Hi-C scaffolding approach.
