Abstract:
Rothia are understudied commensal bacteria within the human oral cavity and respiratory tract and can cause opportunistic infections. We report the complete genome sequences of seven Rothia spp. strains isolated from pooled human saliva, including four strains of Rothia mucilaginosa (59.5% GC) and three strains of Rothia dentocariosa (53.8% GC).

RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases.

Archaeal viruses play a crucial role in the ecosystems of extremophilic archaea, particularly those belonging to the phyla Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota. By shaping host evolution and facilitating gene transfer, these viruses influence microbial communities and contribute to genetic diversity in extreme environments. The archaea they infect thrive in acidic hot springs and hydrothermal vents characterized by high temperatures and low pH. Archaeal viruses exhibit remarkable structural...
