An integrated study of photochemical function and expression of a key photochemical gene (psbA) in photosynthetic communities of Lake Bonney (McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica).
TL;DR: Spectroscopic and flow cytometric analyses provide the first evidence that the Lake Bonney photosynthetic community is dominated by picophytoplankton that possess photosynthesis apparatus adapted to extreme shade.

Methane production in the oxygenated water column of a perennially ice‐covered Antarctic lake
Wei Li,John E. Dore,A. Steigmeyer,Yong-Joon Cho,Ok-Sun Kim,Yongqin Liu,Rachael M. Morgan-Kiss,Mark L. Skidmore,John C. Priscu +8 more
TL;DR: Data reveal that in situ aerobic biological methane production is likely a significant source of methane in LB, and orthologs of the phosphoenolpyruvate mutase gene (PepM) and methylphosphonate synthase (MPnS), enzymes involved in phosphonate and MPn biosynthesis, were widely spread in the LB shotgun metagenomic libraries.

TL;DR: An efficient software suite that estimates similarities between genomes based on their k-mer matches, and subsequently uses these similarities for classification, clustering, and visualization, and demonstrates that Genome Constellation can tackle the computational and algorithmic challenges in large-scale taxonomy analyses in metagenomics.

TL;DR: In 2019, the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Everest expedition successfully retrieved the greatest diversity of scientific data ever from the mountain this article, and the findings of increased opportunity for landslides, water pollution, human waste contamination and earthquake events.
