eggNOG-mapper v2: efficient functional annotation of genomes and metagenomes
Functional annotation of genomes and metagenomes is a key step in this era of high throughput sequencing of DNA. The new eggNOG-mapper version, published in Molecular Biology and Evolution, provides an efficient method for the annotation of protein and DNA sequences, based on pre-computed phylogenies from the database of ortholog groups eggNOG.

The CBGP (UPM-INIA/CSIC) researcher Dr. Jaime Huerta-Cepas have been listed by Clarivate™ among the world’s most influential researchers in the multidisciplinary research field
Each year, Clarivate™ identifies in this group a select number of researchers who have been most frequently cited by their peers over the last decade. In 2021, fewer than 6.700, or about 0.1%, of the world's researchers have earned this exclusive distinction. The CBGP (UPM-INIA/CSIC) researcher Dr. Jaime Huerta-Cepas have been listed this year in this restricted group (Highly Cited Researchers) among the world’s most influential researchers.

Rhizobia that nodulate lupins do so efficiently if they have a secretory nanosyringe
Rhizobia are soil bacteria known to provide atmospheric nitrogen to legumes by releasing them from nitrogen fertilizers. The rhizobia-legume interaction occurs in root structures called nodules. In this work we demonstrate that for nodulation to work properly the rhizobia must have a nanosyringe.

Mechano-biochemical principles of anisotropic root growth
In this article by @PlantDynamics we developed a next generation computer model of plant root growth that incorporates biomechanics with biochemical processes describing cell division, anisotropic growth and polar transport of growth regulator auxin, using cutting-edge techniques from computer graphics field. Our model framework can predict root patterning of various mutants, and potential outcomes of mechanical or chemical perturbations, thus providing a powerful prediction tool for fundamental research to drive biotechnological innovations.
