STing provides an accurate and ultrafast genomic profiling tool for microbial pathogens using exact sequence matches, outperforming existing methods in speed, accuracy, and ease of use.

The paper identifies admixture-enabled selection in Latin American populations, finding evidence of African ancestry enrichment at immune-related loci and polygenic selection for traits related to immunity and inflammation.

The paper identifies phenotypic cues and genetic architecture underlying ancestry-based assortative mating in admixed Latin American populations using genome-wide haplotype analysis.

The paper develops a bioinformatic tool to identify new T6SS gene clusters in V. cholerae and demonstrates the function of a newly discovered effector protein.
