This study identifies immune-related gene expression differences in paediatric patients with SARS-CoV-2 compared to other lower respiratory tract infections.

The paper models how delayed immune responses and prolonged infections increase the transmission risk of SARS-CoV-2 variants with fitness-enhancing mutations.

This study shows that advanced HIV infection leads to high intra-host SARS-CoV-2 spike diversity and adaptive evolution, potentially contributing to new variants of concern.

The paper identifies 60 new moderate risk genes for autism by integrating de novo and inherited variants across 42,607 cases and 236,000 controls.

The paper reports exome sequencing of 457 ASD families, identifying 10.4% with known ASD genes and 3.4% with possibly associated variants, and provides statistical support for 34 ASD risk genes using the TADA framework.
