Detailed studies of ancient DNA have provided important insights into the origins and history of infectious diseases.

In a new study, researchers assessed the remdesivir resistance developed in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-infected transplant recipients.

Children’s Mercy is claiming to build "the most advanced genomic sequencing system in the world" through its novel use of 5-base sequencing. Since launching three years ago, the system has already provided 1,000 children with rare disease diagnoses based on its genome sequencing.

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated variant-wise SARS-CoV-2 reinfection cases in Denmark.

From incurable intestinal infections to metabolic syndrome, from melanoma, to chronic inflammatory bowel disease, such as irritable bowel syndrome, to Tourette's syndrome: many diseases can potentially be cured by Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT), and researchers from the Catholic University, Rome and the University of Trento have shown that the greater the level of engraftment of the transplanted microorganisms, the greater the chances of success of the therapy.

A new study explores the contribution of genomic sequencing to the scientific understanding of COVID-19, and on the introduction of global public health measures via the ability to pick up new variants early enough.

Existing genetic data and sequencing tools are overwhelmingly based on people of European ancestry, which excludes much of the rich genetic variation of the world.

In a new study, researchers performed a systematic review to assess the association between the composition of infant gut microbiota and childhood respiratory disorders.

In a new study, researchers assessed the rapid increase in COVID-19 reinfections in December 2021.

A new study explores the mutational profiles within individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2.
