We initially developed this index for marine heterotrophs, so we're excited to see it predicting MAG trajectories in a totally different system! doi.org/10.1126/scie... (marine work with Emily Zakem and Jesse McNichol among others - our contribution really focused on the IoC bit)
Heterotrophic bacteria and archaea (“heteroprokaryotes”) drive global carbon cycling, but how to quantitatively organize their functional complexity remains unclear. We generated a global-scale unders...
