This study examines the relationship between human genetic ancestry, Mycobacterium tuberculosis diversity, and TB disease severity in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, finding no significant genetic influence on disease severity.

This study compares genotyping methods for distinguishing recrudescence from new infections in malaria, finding TADS and H-CE most sensitive and robust.

The paper improves genotype imputation in underrepresented populations by adding population-specific SNPs to existing reference panels, showing improved accuracy in a Tanzanian cohort.

The paper analyzes whole genome sequences of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages L1 and L3 to show South Asia's role in their dispersion and identify local adaptation at the esxH locus.

Treemmer reduces large phylogenetic datasets by removing redundant leaves, preserving diversity while simplifying the dataset.
