Genetic Markers Reveal Secret Sex Life of Ocean Diatoms

Scientists have long struggled to observe sexual reproduction in diatoms, a key type of ocean phytoplankton, leading to the belief it was a rare event. A new method using a panel of genetic markers has overturned this view, revealing that diatoms are actively engaging in sex across the world's oceans. This finding is crucial for understanding the life cycle and evolutionary success of these vital micro-organisms.

New Map Reveals Antarctic Seafloor Biodiversity Hotspots and Conservation Gaps

Scientists have created the first predictive map of Antarctic seafloor biodiversity, highlighting unique hotspots concentrated in cold, food-rich environments. This groundbreaking work exposes the vulnerability of these ecosystems to ocean warming and reveals that only a small fraction of these critical areas are currently protected, underscoring an urgent need for expanded conservation efforts.

DeepVirFinder: The Digital Detective Hunting Viruses Without a Mugshot

DeepVirFinder utilises deep learning to identify viral sequences in metagenomic data by recognising genetic patterns rather than matching known references. The updated software offers optimised processing speeds and improved tools for extracting and visualising viral candidates.
