This study maps virus-specific nasal cell states in children using single-cell RNA sequencing and links them to disease severity and asthma risk.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing of Vibrio cholerae isolates from Africa to assess genomic diversity and antimicrobial resistance, highlighting the utility of WGS for enhanced surveillance.

The paper links KZFP-mediated DNA methylation of a primate-specific transposon to type 1 diabetes risk through genetic and epigenetic analyses.

The paper analyzes whole genome sequences of invasive Salmonella isolates in The Gambia to study changes in serovar distribution and virulence factors over time.

This study uses genomic data from 8746 SARS-CoV-2 genomes across 33 African countries to show that most epidemics were initiated by European importations and later driven by local transmission and mobility, leading to the spread of variants of concern.

The paper uses whole genome sequencing to trace the origin of SARS-CoV-2 strains in The Gambia, identifying European and Asian sources.
