Microbial interactions in soil are hidden, as they occur stealthily in a 'dark box'. This greatly
limits our understanding of microbial functions. Here, soil microorganisms were classified …

Soil microbiology has entered into the big data era, but the challenges in bridging laboratory‐
, field‐, and model‐based studies of ecosystem functions still remain. Indeed, the limitation …

Bacteriophages are abundant in soils. However, the majority are uncharacterized, and their
hosts are unknown. Here, we apply high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi …
