Pretty exciting given the last type was discovered in 2016. Science publication here: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adi1910 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adi1910 Here's the main takeaway I got: A fast locality-sensitive hashing-based clustering (FLSHclust) algorithm was developed. This algorithm is parallelized and scales linearly with the size of the dataset, enabling efficient analysis of large sequence databases. That means it can scale with exponentially growing datasets, discover rare biological systems, provide more options for targeted gene editing, and even lead to novel biotechnologies. Sounds like a breakthrough to me!
