The paper develops and validates a set of 100,000 RNA baits (CryptoCap_100k) to enrich Cryptosporidium DNA from clinical and environmental samples, improving read mapping, coverage, and variant analysis while reducing costs.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly and annotation of Cryptosporidium meleagridis, revealing 3,923 protein-coding genes and high completeness.

This paper compares three amplicon sequencing methods for SARS-CoV-2 variant detection in wastewater, finding ARTIC V4 most accurate for variant identification and abundance estimation.

This study evaluates MDA's effectiveness for genome assembly with ONT sequencing, showing high-quality results from low DNA input and introducing a tool to mitigate concatemeric sequences.
