EsViritu is a viral pathogen profiler that accurately detects and reconstructs virus genomes from metagenomes with high sensitivity and specificity.

This study analyzes RSV evolutionary dynamics across pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic periods in Houston, finding reduced diversity during the pandemic and increased non-synonymous mutations in RSV/B.

The paper characterizes recalcitrant enterococcal bacteremia through clinical and genomic analysis, finding species-specific genetic adaptations in persistent infections.

This study examines TBDR mutations in P. aeruginosa clinical isolates and their association with cefiderocol resistance and heteroresistance.
