This study identifies 87 QTLs for stripe rust resistance in 297 Watkins wheat landraces, including 10 known Yr genes and 46 novel loci.

The paper reports the detection of H5N1 clade 2.3.2.1a avian influenza in domestic cats in India, identifies reassortant viruses, and highlights the need for enhanced surveillance.

The paper analyzes the genetic composition and history of the bread wheat D genome using a pangenome of its donor species, revealing contributions from discrete subpopulations of Aegilops tauschii.

This paper introduces a computational pipeline to predict binding affinity of SARS-CoV-2 variants to hACE2 and neutralizing antibodies, showing Omicron variants have reduced binding to most RBD-directed antibodies.

This study predicts SARS-CoV-2 spike protein binding affinity to ACE2 orthologs across 299 vertebrate species, revealing broad host range and potential for cross-species transmission.
