Making biosynthetic diversity clustering scalable and accessible: the creation journey behind the new versions of BiG-SCAPE and BiG-SLiCE
The software tools BiG-SCAPE 2.0 and BiG-SLiCE 2.0 provide an improved framework for scalable, accurate and interactive metabolic gene cluster diversity analysis. Read here how the paper came together.
Fishing for knowledge in the Central Arctic Ocean
The Central Arctic Ocean (CAO) is one of the least explored oceans because of the extensive sea-ice cover. Although no fisheries have developed in the deep basins, there is commercial fishing on the shelf and shelf slope north of Svalbard. Our main research question: Are there any fish in the CAO?
Impact of Meteorological Drought on Pastoralist Livelihood Assets in Southwest Somalia
The study aimed to understand how meteorological drought, particularly rainfall deficits and prolonged dry periods, affects the key livelihood assets of pastoral communities that depend heavily on livestock production.
Ice-rock avalanches in a warming Himalaya indicate pathways toward effective preparedness
Cryospheric hazards such as ice rock avalanches are increasing across the Himalaya as glaciers destabilize under climate warming. This study examines recent events and highlights pathways for anticipatory hazard governance, early warning systems, and community centered preparedness.
