  • Borgs are large extrachromosomal elements of anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea. Here, via in silico protein structure prediction of ~10,000 Borg proteins, the authors reveal that Borgs share numerous features with giant eukaryotic viruses, suggesting that Borgs have a viral-like lifestyle and evolutionary convergence of large extrachromosomal elements across the Domains of Life.

  • Metagenomic analysis of wetland soil reveals diverse interacting extrachromosomal genetic elements (ECEs) associated with the methane-oxidizing archaeon Methanoperedens. Some of these ECEs share features with Borgs but are smaller in size, so they are referred to as mini-Borgs.

  • Metagenomic data and network analyses are often used to predict microbial interactions in complex communities, but these predictions are rarely explored experimentally. Here, Hessler et al. combine experiments with metagenome-informed, microbial consortia-based network analyses to identify interactions in microbial consortia grown under dozens of conditions.

  • Using machine learning methods to model interatomic potentials enables molecular dynamics simulations with ab initio level accuracy at a relatively low computational cost, but requires a large number of labelled training data obtained through expensive ab initio computations. Cui and colleagues propose a geometric learning framework that leverages self-supervised learning pretraining to enhance existing machine learning based interatomic potential models at a negligible additional computational cost.

  • 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.
