This study shows that H5N1 viruses' ability to adapt to bovine cells varies across genotypes and time, with key mutations in PB2 playing a role.

This study uses target enrichment sequencing to assess viral load and diversity in wildlife samples, showing a log-linear relationship between spike-in concentration and read depth.

This study compares two Rift Valley fever virus strains from Mauritania, showing that MRU25010-30 is more virulent and replicates more efficiently than MRU2687-3.

This study uses machine learning to identify key viral and host processes associated with varying severity in bluetongue virus infection in sheep.

The paper identifies cryptic proteins from deletion-containing viral genomes that inhibit influenza virus replication and expand its proteome.

This study uses metagenomic sequencing to identify a diverse range of viruses in Ugandan mosquitoes, revealing many novel species with potential human and animal pathogenicity.

The paper identifies two genomic variants of Wolbachia strain wAlbB, showing differences in gene content and density that correlate with environmental tolerance and stability in mosquito populations.

The paper sequenced the Wolbachia strain wAlbA and found it associated with plasmids, revealing that such plasmids are common in Wolbachia and may contribute to host-symbiont interactions.

Periscope identifies and quantifies sub-genomic RNAs in SARS-CoV-2 genomic data, detecting canonical and non-canonical sgRNAs with high fidelity.

This study analyzes within-host SARS-CoV-2 diversity and transmission patterns using 1390 UK clinical samples, finding low within-host diversity and a narrow transmission bottleneck.

The paper examines the impact of IFN-lambda4 on HCV diversity using host and viral genetic data from 485 patients, finding that IFN-lambda4 variants influence viral amino acid diversity and load.
