Meta-omics sequence data from 116 microbial communities and 1,372 novel MAGs from 26 coastal sites in France and Chile 🌍🦠 Including time-series data from lagoons and fjords—ecosystems still strongly underrepresented in meta-omics surveys. Our data paper is now online: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Improved maximum growth rate prediction from microbial genomes by integrating phylogenetic information - Nature Communications
Microbial maximum growth rates vary widely across species, and their measurement is challenging, especially for uncultivated organisms. Here, Xu, Zakem & Weissman present Phydon, a framework for g...
