Vulture: Cloud-enabled scalable mining of microbial reads in public scRNA-seq data

Vulture is a scalable cloud-based pipeline for microbial calling in scRNA-seq data, outperforming existing tools in speed and cost while discovering virus-enriched cell types in cancer and COVID-19 datasets.

Causal inference for the effect of environmental chemicals on chronic kidney disease

The paper uses GPS analysis and regression models to show that higher urinary PFA concentrations are associated with lower eGFR, suggesting PFA as a modifiable risk factor for CKD.
