This study compares high-depth whole genome sequencing of pooled (p-seq) and individual colonies (c5-seq) from blood culture plates to understand evolutionary dynamics in MRSA bacteremia, finding that c5-seq is more practical for tracking within-host evolution.

This study identifies mitotic block and epigenetic repression as causes of neurodevelopmental defects and neurobehavioral deficits in congenital heart disease using mouse models.
