A dissection of the genomic antimicrobial resistance epidemiology of Salmonella Typhimurium

The paper analyzes antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella Typhimurium using genomic data to identify resistant strains and their geographic and host associations.

Characterising Staphylococcus aureus genomic epidemiology with Multilevel Genome Typing.

This study develops a multilevel genome typing (MGT) scheme for Staphylococcus aureus to characterize genomic epidemiology at various scales using 50,481 genomes.

Larval swimming in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis is sensitive to a broad light spectrum and exhibits a wavelength-dependent behavioral switch

This study investigates light sensitivity in Nematostella vectensis larvae, finding wavelength-dependent behavioral responses and a switch in swimming direction based on light wavelength.

Multiple parallel expansions of bilaterian-like phototransduction gene families in the eyeless Anthozoa

The paper identifies bilaterian-like phototransduction gene families in the eyeless sea anemone Nematostella vectensis, suggesting ancestral phototransduction diversity in eumetazoans.

Genomic epidemiology and multilevel genome typing of Bordetella pertussis

This paper introduces a multilevel genome typing system for Bordetella pertussis to improve surveillance and understanding of circulating strains and their public health risks.

SaLTy: a novel Staphylococcus aureus Lineage Typer

SaLTy is a new lineage typing method for Staphylococcus aureus that divides isolates into 61 phylogenetic lineages with high accuracy, improving on existing clonal complex classifications.

Programmed cell death-1 receptor mediated regulation of Tbet+ NK1.1- Innate Lymphoid Cells within the Tumor Microenvironment

This paper identifies Tbet+NK1.1- ILCs in the tumor microenvironment and shows PD-1 regulates their proliferation and anti-tumor function through metabolic changes.

Microwell-Based Flow Culture Increases Viability and Restores Drug Response in Prostate Cancer Spheroids

This study introduces a Microwell Flow Device that improves spheroid viability and drug response in prostate cancer models by reducing hypoxia-related necrosis.

Cluster-specific gene markers enhance Shigella and Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli in silico serotyping

This study identifies cluster-specific gene markers for Shigella and EIEC strains and develops a tool, ShigEiFinder, to accurately differentiate and serotype them with high accuracy.
