A genomic catalog of Earth’s bacterial and archaeal symbionts

Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 31 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03213-1 Symbiotic relationships of microorganisms are predicted and cataloged with a machine learning tool.

A team has used a machine learning tool to predict and catalog symbiotic relationships of microorganisms.

The research, published in Nature Biotechnology, aims to create a genomic catalog of Earth's bacterial and archaeal symbionts.

The study's findings are based on predictions made by the machine learning tool, and further research is needed to confirm the results.
