This study expands CIRdb with whole-exome sequencing data from 920 Canary Islanders, identifying 387,555 variants, including 15.1% previously unreported and 74.4% rare.

The paper identifies rare genetic variants associated with sepsis-associated ARDS using whole-exome sequencing and network-based clustering analysis.

The paper identifies risk loci for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) by analyzing protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) from GWAS of sepsis-related biomarkers.

This study identifies a genome-wide significant variant associated with sepsis-associated ARDS risk, linking cholesterol metabolism to ARDS susceptibility.

The paper examines plant naturalization on oceanic islands by analyzing phylogenetic and functional distances of invasive and noninvasive species in the Canary Islands.

This study identifies novel genetic risk loci for COVID-19 hospitalization in admixed American populations through a large GWAS.

This study benchmarks de novo assembly tools for human whole-genome sequencing data using hybrid long-read and short-read data, finding Flye with error-corrected reads performs best.

The paper benchmarks five Y-chromosomal haplogroup classifiers using whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing data, finding YLeaf performs best for both and handles third-generation sequencing data effectively.

This study benchmarks mitochondrial DNA haplogroup classifiers using whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing data, finding Haplocheck as the most accurate tool for short-read data and requiring assembly-based approaches for long-read data.

The paper analyzes ancient mitogenomes from the Canary Islands to trace the origin and migration patterns of indigenous populations, identifying new lineages and supporting a model of two distinct migrations.

The paper uses shallow MinION sequencing combined with Illumina short-read data to improve genome assembly of Streptococcus agalactiae.
