Lake Mendota sits right next to the University of Wisconsin, Madison. And Trina McMahon's lab has been sampling the microbes of that lake for over 20 years, to understand how the … giant assembly from Lake Mendota. In this episode: the software evolution that made metagenome assemblies like this …

The Science Within the archaeal domain, there is a group of tiny hitchhikers. These organisms are abundant and yet … mini genomes to match. As a result, they cannot process all of the chemicals they need to survive. To fill in their nutrient gaps, they must latch onto a larger host — often, a fellow archaeal microbe. Understanding how these …
