BACKGROUND: A critical goal in biology is to relate the phenotype to the genotype, that is, to find the genetic determinants of various traits. However, while simple monofactorial determinants are relatively easy to identify, the underpinnings of com...
State-of-the-art methods assessing pathogenic non-coding variants have mostly been characterized on common disease-associated polymorphisms, yet with modest accuracy and strong positional biases. In this study, we curated 737 high-confidence pathogen...
BACKGROUND: The development of high-throughput sequencing and analysis has accelerated multi-omics studies of thousands of microbial species, metagenomes, and infectious disease pathogens. Omics studies are enabling genotype-phenotype association stu...
Risk prediction modelling is important to better understand the determinants of the course and outcome of PBC and to inform the risk across the disease continuum in PBC enabling risk-stratified follow-up care and personalised therapy. Current prognos...

The complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Taeniopteryx ugola and Doddsia occidentalis (Plecoptera: Taeniopterygidae) were firstly sequenced from the family Taeniopterygidae. The 15,353-bp long mitogenome of T. ugola and the 16,020-bp long m...
UNLABELLED: Breast and ovarian cancers harboring homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) are sensitive to PARP inhibitors and platinum chemotherapy. Conventionally, detecting HRD involves screening for defects in BRCA1, BRCA2, and other relevant ge...
BACKGROUND: Persistent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection differs from long coronavirus disease (COVID-19) (acute symptoms ≥ 12 weeks post-clearance). The Omicron BA.5 variant has a shorter median clearance time (1...
Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a powerful diagnostics tool that is widely studied in the context of liquid biopsy in oncology and other fields. In obstetrics, maternal plasma cfDNA have already proven its utility, enabling noninvasive prenatal ...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health threat, resulting in 4.96 million deaths in 2019, with projections reaching 10 million by 2050. This resistance, primarily due to the overuse of antibiotics, complicates the treatment o...
