This study identifies the non-spike R204P mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron XEC variant as a driver of increased inflammation and pathogenicity through NF-κB activation.

The paper identifies a hotspot of antibiotic resistance genes in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, showing high abundance and unique resistance mechanisms.

This paper introduces CoVFit, a protein language model that predicts SARS-CoV-2 variant fitness using spike protein sequences, identifying fitness-enhancing mutations and predicting emerging variants.

The paper assesses the humoral immune response to XBB.1.5 vaccine in infection-naive and XBB-infected individuals against various SARS-CoV-2 variants.
