Genome-wide association study of viral antibody response in healthy individuals

The heritability of the immune system is ~40%. Recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified common genetic variants associated with multiple immune phenotypes such as cell proportions and protein expression. Integrating host genetic …

Phylogenetic Evidence for Intercity Clusters of People Who Inject Drugs in India.

Little data exist on HCV phylodynamics and transmission networks among people who inject drugs (PWID), especially from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). HCV epidemics in a city can be considered a series of sub-epidemics caused by …

An evaluation of mitochondrial COI barcode pyrosequencing for estimating oomycete species diversity in asymptomatic environments

Next-generation sequencing technologies are revealing a more complete picture of biological diversity within various environments and are posed to fundamentally challenge our current understanding of species interactions. However, in order to …
