Functional unknomics of the SAR11 clade reveal hidden genetic potential underlying adaptation to bottom-up and top-down pressures
This study explored the function of the unknome of the SAR11 clade, the most abundant bacterial lineage in the ocean, with a particular focus on genes that provide insight into its ecology, and identified candidate viral defense systems within the unknome.
