Capturing global pet dog gut microbial diversity and hundreds of near-finished bacterial genomes by using long-read metagenomics in a Shanghai cohort
Pet dogs are considered part of the family, and understanding their gut microbiomes can provide insights into both animal and household health. Most comprehensive studies, however, relied on short-rea...

This is a major issue is that the incentives are to output false positives in your tools
If you need to survive on having many citations to your tools, it is better if your tool gives users lots of results so that they cite it!

Our preprint on estimating how many more prokaryotic taxa can be discovered in the unbinned fraction of metagenomic samples.
We predict that there are 10 archaeal and 145 bacterial novel phyla across all habitats.

The combined 2024 budgets of NSF, NIH, and NASA were around $80 billion, or 100x this package. It makes sense for other countries to try to capitalize on the idiocy that has captured our government, but it's important to remember the sheer scale and irreplaceability of the US research enterprise.
