Consideration of a liquid mutation accumulation experiment to measure mutation rates by successive serial dilution.

The paper proposes a liquid-phase mutation-accumulation experiment to measure mutation rates and spectra, demonstrating it can replicate results from plate-based experiments and detect a modified mutation spectrum.

Performance of amplicon and capture based next-generation sequencing approaches for the epidemiological surveillance of Omicron SARS-CoV-2 and other variants of concern.

This study compares amplicon and hybrid-capture sequencing methods for SARS-CoV-2 variant detection, finding high sequence agreement across methods and highlighting automation's role in improving accessibility.

Extending PROXIMAL to predict degradation pathways of phenolic compounds in the human gut microbiota

The paper introduces PROXIMAL2, an improved algorithm for predicting degradation pathways of phenolic compounds in the human gut microbiota, showing higher accuracy than PROXIMAL and RetroPath RL.

Additive manufactured scaffolds for bone tissue engineering: physical characterization of thermoplastic composites with functional fillers

The paper characterizes the rheological and mechanical properties of thermoplastic composites for bone tissue engineering scaffolds and develops computational models to predict scaffold elastic moduli.

Surveillance of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli associated bloody diarrhea in Argentina

The paper investigates STEC-associated bloody diarrhea and progression to HUS in children in Argentina, finding 4.1% STEC-positive cases and 13.8% progressing to HUS.

Persistence of the ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) microbiome to diet manipulation

This study examines the microbiome of ground beetles across different diets and finds that soil environment, not diet, significantly affects bacterial diversity and composition.

Haloargentinum marplatensis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel extremely halophilic bacterium isolated from salted-ripened anchovy (Engraulis anchoita)

The paper describes a novel extremely halophilic bacterium isolated from salted-ripened anchovy and proposes a new genus and species name.

The need to harmonize insecticide resistance testing: methodology, intensity concentrations and molecular mechanisms evaluated in Aedes aegypti populations in Central America and Hispaniola

This study evaluates insecticide resistance in Aedes aegypti across Central America and Hispaniola, finding widespread resistance to pyrethroids and organophosphates, and identifies the V1016I kdr mutation as a key mechanism.

A liquid biopsy platform for detecting gene-gene fusions as glioma diagnostic biomarkers and drug targets

This study identifies gene-gene fusions in glioma patients using cfDNA from plasma, showing potential as diagnostic biomarkers and drug targets for precision medicine.

Differential expression of cyclins mRNA in neural tissues of BoHV-1- and BoHV-5- infected cattle

This study compares cyclin mRNA expression in neural tissues of cattle infected with BoHV-1 and BoHV-5, revealing differences in cyclin regulation during infection stages.
