The paper investigates the emergence of the influenza A/H3N2 K subclade, finding limited antigenic change and age-dependent vaccine responses, suggesting non-antigenic selection pressures.

The paper identifies manufacturing plasmid sequences and disrupted vector genomes in liver tissue from a patient with AAV gene therapy-related hepatitis.

The paper estimates the timeline and parameters of an influenza A(H1N2)v spillover event using likelihood-free rejection sampling with limited data.

The paper analyzes antibody neutralization data from multiple countries to assess how prior exposure to SARS-CoV-2 variants affects neutralization profiles of BA.2.86 and its descendants.

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.

This study shows that fever enhances the host's type-I IFN response to restrict MPXV replication.

The paper explores the acceptability of rapid whole genome sequencing for managing nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 infections through interviews with healthcare professionals.

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.

GLUE is a flexible software system for organizing and processing virus sequence data, demonstrated with a hepatitis C virus case study.

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.
