This study tests whether white-tailed deer are a reservoir for divergent SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.641 and finds no active infections but evidence of past exposure.

BioHansel rapidly and accurately genotypes bacterial pathogens from WGS data using canonical SNPs, enabling efficient surveillance and outbreak response.

A decentralized open-source web platform lets public health labs run outbreak sequencing pipelines on local compute, keeping data under their own governance while still exchanging results between instances.

The paper introduces nAWC to identify stable clusters in bacterial populations using WGS data, showing it produces robust clusters that reflect population structure.
