Mycolicibacterium fortuitum genomic epidemiology, resistome and virulome [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2021
Mycolicibacterium fortuitum is an opportunistic pathogen associated with human and animal infection worldwide. Studies concerning this species are mainly represented by case reports, some of them addressing drug susceptibility with a focus on a specific geographic region, so there is a gap in relation to the global epidemiological scenario.We aimed ...

Fifteen new risk loci for coronary artery disease highlight arterial-wall-specific mechanisms [PDF]

, 2017
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although 58 genomic regions have been associated with CAD thus far, most of the heritability is unexplained, indicating that additional susceptibility loci await ...

Mendelian randomization of circulating proteome identifies actionable targets in heart failure

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent cause of mortality and morbidity. The molecular drivers of HF are still largely unknown. Results We aimed to identify circulating proteins causally associated with HF by leveraging genome-wide genetic ...

Enhanced discrimination of Clostridioides difficile transmission using whole-genome sequencing and in silico multi-locus variable number tandem repeat analysis

Microbiology Spectrum
Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is used to establish genetic relatedness of bacteria and track outbreaks in healthcare settings. While WGS provides sufficient discriminatory power to make inferences about genetic relatedness and transmission for most ...

Common variation near ROBO2 is associated with expressive vocabulary in infancy [PDF]

, 2014
Twin studies suggest that expressive vocabulary at ~24 months is modestly heritable. However, the genes influencing this early linguistic phenotype are unknown. Here we conduct a genome-wide screen and follow-up study of expressive vocabulary in toddlers

Microbiota long-term dynamics and prediction of acute graft-versus-host disease in pediatric allogeneic stem cell transplantation

Microbiome, 2021
Background Patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) exhibit changes in their gut microbiota and are experiencing a range of complications, including acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD). It is unknown if, when, and

Genomic Epidemiology with Mixed Samples [PDF]

, 2020
AbstractGenomic epidemiology is a tool for tracing transmission of pathogens based on whole-genome sequencing. We introduce the mGEMS pipeline for genomic epidemiology with plate sweeps representing mixed samples of a target pathogen, skipping the colony pick step.

Tumor mutational burden as a determinant of metastatic dissemination patterns

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study performed a comprehensive analysis of genomic data to elucidate whether metastasis in certain organs share genetic characteristics regardless of cancer type. No robust mutational patterns were identified across different metastatic locations and cancer types.
