AlphaTracker: A Multi-Animal Tracking and Behavioral Analysis Tool

AlphaTracker is a computer vision tool for multi-animal tracking and behavioral analysis, designed for ease of use and real-time performance in studying social interactions in mice.

Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 deletion variants detected in a nosocomial cluster during routine genomic surveillance, Lyon, France

This study identifies two SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 deletion variants from genomic surveillance, showing nosocomial transmission and comparable replication kinetics but no significant clinical impact.

Cross talk between tumor stroma and cancer cells plays a critical role in progressive enrichment of cancer stem cell phenotype in primary breast tumors

The paper investigates the relationship between tumor stroma and cancer cells in primary breast tumors, finding that cross-talk between these components contributes to the enrichment of cancer stem cell phenotype.

Molecular characterization of SARS-CoV-2 in the first COVID-19 cluster in France reveals an amino-acid deletion in nsp2 (Asp268Del)

The paper characterizes a SARS-CoV-2 cluster in France, identifying an amino-acid deletion in nsp2 (Asp268Del) present in multiple samples and other European viruses.

Sustained exposure to trypsin causes cells to transition into a state of reversible stemness that is amenable to transdifferentiation

This paper shows that sustained trypsin exposure induces cells to transition into a reversible stem-like state, enabling transdifferentiation and altering cellular behavior.

Evolution of influenza genome diversity during infection in immunocompetent patients

This study tracks influenza virus diversity over time in immunocompetent patients, finding higher diversity in late-stage mild cases and specific segment differences across clinical groups.

Quality control implementation for universal characterization of DNA and RNA viruses in clinical respiratory samples using single metagenomic next-generation sequencing workflow

This paper evaluates a single metagenomic next-generation sequencing workflow for detecting DNA and RNA viruses in clinical respiratory samples, showing high accuracy and correlation with PCR results.
