The paper presents the first chromosome-scale genome assembly for Dermacentor reticulatus, revealing a repeat-rich genome and providing insights into its phylogenetic placement and functional genomics.

This paper introduces PfPan, a P. falciparum pangenome that improves structural variant detection and aids malaria control by identifying drug resistance and diagnostic evasion variants.

TOAST optimises amplicon design for tuberculosis genomic studies, enabling high-throughput sequencing of drug resistance mutations across multiple platforms.
