Open AccessBiofilms harbour Clostridioides difficile, serving as a reservoir for recurrent infection
C. difficile infection (CDI) is a worldwide healthcare problem with ~30% of cases failing primary therapy, placing a burden on healthcare systems and increasing patient morbidity. We have little understanding of ...

Open AccessDe novo assembly of highly diverse viral populations
Extensive genetic diversity in viral populations within infected hosts and the divergence of variants from existing reference genomes impede the analysis of deep viral sequencing data. A de novo population consen...

Ecophysiology of 13C and 15N isotopic fractionation in forest fungi and the roots of the saprotrophic-mycorrhizal divide
To quantify and characterize N and C isotopic fractionation effects due to fungal transformation of organic substrates in forest ecosystems, we performed a field study in California and a meta-analysis of thre...
