The paper develops a method to detect and identify minority Cryptosporidium species in mixed infections using amplicon sequencing and DADA2, demonstrating sensitivity to low-abundance variants.

This study uses CES-Seq to sequence Cryptosporidium genomes directly from clinical samples, revealing genetic diversity and enabling phylogenomic analysis and GWAS.

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.

The paper identifies ROP33 as a murine virulence gene in Type X Toxoplasma gondii strains isolated from southern sea otters, showing differential pathogenicity across hosts.

POPSICLE improves genotype-phenotype predictions by integrating population genetics and GWAS methods using whole genome sequencing data.
