Recovery of genomes from metagenomes via a dereplication, aggregation and scoring strategy.
Christian M. K. Sieber,Christian M. K. Sieber,Alexander J. Probst,Allison Sharrar,Brian C. Thomas,Matthias Hess,Susannah G. Tringe,Jillian F. Banfield +7 more
TL;DR: A tool that enables a flexible set of existing binning algorithms to be combined, resulting in improved binning accuracy and the recovery of more near-complete genomes from metagenomes compared to standalone methods is presented.

TL;DR: Genomic analyses of major clades of huge phages sampled from across Earth’s ecosystems show that they have diverse genetic inventories, including a variety of CRISPR–Cas systems and translation-relevant genes.
Cryptic inoviruses revealed as pervasive in bacteria and archaea across Earth's biomes.

TL;DR: A machine learning approach was used to recover over 10,000 inovirus-like sequences from existing microbial genomes and metagenomes, consequently proposing the reclassification of the Inoviridae family to a viral order, and uncover the previously unrecognized diversity of these viruses across hosts and environments.
Bacterial Secondary Metabolite Biosynthetic Potential in Soil Varies with Phylum, Depth, and Vegetation Type.
Allison Sharrar,Alexander Crits-Christoph,Raphaël Méheust,Spencer Diamond,Evan P. Starr,Jillian F. Banfield +5 more
TL;DR: This work sampled soils and saprolite from three sites in a northern California Critical Zone Observatory with various vegetation and bedrock characteristics and reconstructed 1,334 metagenome-assembled genomes containing diverse biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for secondary metabolite production.
Bacterial secondary metabolite biosynthetic potential in soil varies with phylum, depth, and vegetation type
Allison Sharrar,Alexander Crits-Christoph,Raphaël Méheust,Spencer Diamond,Evan P. Starr,Jillian F. Banfield +5 more
TL;DR: Overall, bacteria with higher biosynthetic potential were enriched in shallow soils and grassland soils, with patterns of abundance of BGC type varying by taxonomy.
