This study tracks the 28-year evolution of a Burkholderia pseudomallei strain in sterile water, identifying genetic changes and metabolic adaptations to nutrient-depletion.

This study sequenced 25 new Rickettsia typhi genomes, expanding the dataset to 29 complete genomes, revealing minimal genetic diversity and a clonal population structure.

The paper investigates maternal transmission of ESBL-E in Cambodian infants using whole genome sequencing of mother-neonate pairs, finding evidence of bacterial transmission but not plasmid transfer.

This study compares three library preparation methods for SARS-CoV-2 amplicon sequencing, showing minimal impact on consensus base calling and phylogenetic analysis.

This study evaluates the accuracy of Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencing for whole-genome assembly of Rickettsia typhi in resource-limited settings, finding it insufficient for phylogenetic analysis but useful with error correction.

The paper reports high-quality genomes of six Orientia tsutsugamushi strains using long-read sequencing and identifies a small core genome and phylogenetic relationships.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of platypuses to reveal strong population structure, recent bottlenecks, and genetic relationships across their range.
