This study examines genetic diversity and population structure of farmed and wild African catfish in Nigeria, finding higher genetic diversity in wild populations and evidence of farmed fish escaping into the wild.

This study uses target enrichment sequencing to assess viral load and diversity in wildlife samples, showing a log-linear relationship between spike-in concentration and read depth.

The paper clones and analyzes three cytomegaloviruses from Mastomys natalensis, showing their narrow host range and identifying a site for vaccine antigen insertion.

This study sequenced rabies virus genomes from a dog-mediated outbreak in El Pedregal, Peru, revealing multiple introductions and linking them to ongoing rabies circulation in Arequipa and Bolivia.

This study compares two Rift Valley fever virus strains from Mauritania, showing that MRU25010-30 is more virulent and replicates more efficiently than MRU2687-3.

This study uses machine learning to identify key viral and host processes associated with varying severity in bluetongue virus infection in sheep.

The paper investigates the integration, excision, and transmission of HHV-6B in telomeres across tissues and individuals, revealing maternal transmission and dynamic transitions between integrated and free virus forms.

Periscope identifies and quantifies sub-genomic RNAs in SARS-CoV-2 genomic data, detecting canonical and non-canonical sgRNAs with high fidelity.
