The paper identifies a common BRCA1 founder variant in Rwandan breast cancer patients and estimates its origin to be around 4,000-10,000 years ago.

The paper uses genomic analysis to show the Rwanda MVD outbreak originated from a single zoonotic event with limited human-to-human transmission.

This study reports genomic surveillance in Rwanda from June to September 2021, showing the rapid spread and dominance of the Delta variant over other lineages, with implications for cross-border transmission.

This study analyzes SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences from Rwanda to track variant evolution and regional spread, identifying emerging sub-lineages and VOCs introduced through travel.

This study shows that prenatal stress exposure in mice leads to behavioral deficits in offspring, associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and epigenetic changes, which can be mitigated by acetyl-L-carnitine.
