By studying over 59,000 cases of invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, experts have found that the subtype of bacteria influences the impact of environmental factors, such as air pollution, on disease risk.

Over the course of a lifetime, somatic mutations accrue in normal human cells, causing variation in cell phenotype and engendering somatic evolution with outcomes ranging from the adaptive immune syst...

Genetic variation among microbial strains of the same species can profoundly influence their phenotypes, ecological functions, and impacts on human health. Traditionally, the relative abundance of a s...

Public microbial genomes encode an immense record of biological diversity, evolution and molecular function, but much of this information remains difficult to reuse because raw sequencing data are not...

Quantifying short-term evolutionary rates of microbial genomes is essential for understanding the processes that shape within-host evolution and for establishing thresholds needed to track transmissio...

Targeted metagenomics, where samples are enriched for multiple organisms of interest using oligonucleotide probes, is a highly efficient sequencing methodology that is becoming standard practice for g...

AbstractMotivation. Assembly graphs are a fundamental data structure used by genome and metagenome assemblers to represent sequences and their overlap info

Why are there so many co-circulating Klebsiella pneumoniae clones? Using genomics and large-scale metabolic modelling of >7000 isolates, this study identifies structured, clone-specific metabolic spec...

Complex prophage integration dynamics, including low-level induction, cross-family host range and transposase-mediated mobilization, challenge existing paradigms and deepen our understanding of phage–...

Metalog is a repository of manually annotated metadata (or contextual data) for metagenomic sequencing data from across the globe.

AbstractMotivation. Long-read sequencing enables complete bacterial genome assemblies, but individual assemblers are imperfect and often produce sequence-l

LexicMap uses a fixed set of probes to efficiently query gene sequences for fast and low-memory alignment.

Antibiotic resistance is frequently observed shortly after the clinical introduction of an antibiotic. Whether and how frequently that resistance occurred before the introduction is harder to determin...

**Note that the FRQ is in the process of revamping their webpages. We will update links soon as we can with the current 2025 year's information. Be sure to check back to see if any eligibility or docu...

JPIAMR is a global collaborative organisation and platform, engaging 28 nations to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR) with a One Health approach.

Neonatal antibiotic use is shown to reduce immune response to infant vaccines, accompanied by reduced abundance of Bifidobacteria in the gut microbiota, with experiments in mice indicating that probio...
