Mining statistically-solid k-mers for accurate NGS error correction

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background NGS data contains many machine-induced errors. The most advanced methods for the error correction heavily depend on the selection of solid k-mers. A solid k-mer is a k-mer frequently occurring in NGS reads.

Cross-sectional study of MERS-CoV-specific RNA and antibodies in animals that have had contact with MERS patients in Saudi Arabia

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2018
Background: Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is a newly emerged coronavirus that is associated with a severe respiratory disease in humans in the Middle East. The epidemiological profiles of the MERS-CoV infections suggest zoonotic

Whole genome sequencing of historical specimens from the world's largest fungal collection yields high‐quality assemblies

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary High‐throughput molecular studies of museum specimens (museomics) have great potential in biodiversity research, but fungal historical collections have scarcely been examined, leading to no comprehensive methodological assessments. Here we present a whole genome sequencing (WGS) project conducted at the Fungarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 targets mitochondria, exacerbating COVID‐19 pneumonia

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Following entry into airway epithelial cells (AECs), SARS‐CoV‐2 releases its single‐stranded RNA into the cytoplasm, where it is translated into viral proteins. Several of these viral proteins localize to mitochondria and interact with key mitochondrial components.

Contemporary disasters may not kill more women than men: an empirical inquiry into sex‐differentiated fatalities in the twenty‐first century

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,

Determination of the Critical Exponents for the Isotropic-Nematic Phase Transition in a System of Long Rods on Two-dimensional Lattices: Universality of the Transition

, 2008
Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling analysis have been carried out to study the critical behavior and universality for the isotropic-nematic phase transition in a system of long straight rigid rods of length $k$ ($k$-mers) on two-dimensional ...

Beyond Privacy Calculus: Understanding Digital Contact Tracing Acceptance Through Surveillance Drift and Agency Theory

Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l'Administration, Volume 43, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Digital contact tracing (DCT) has emerged as a promising tool for controlling infectious disease outbreaks, yet its adoption has been hampered by widespread privacy concerns. Prior research studies mainly rely on privacy calculus theory. We extend this view by integrating agency theory to explain how delegating sensitive data to government ...

Structural Definition of a Unique Neutralization Epitope on the Receptor-Binding Domain of MERS-CoV Spike Glycoprotein

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: The major mechanism of antibody-mediated neutralization of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) involves competition with the cellular receptor dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) for binding to the receptor-binding domain (RBD)
