Pathogen genomics is an essential component of the world's ability to respond quickly to infectious disease threats, whether by increasing the speed at which we can identify emerging pathogens or ...

The availability, speed and effectiveness of genomic sequencing increased dramatically during the pandemic, as scientists worldwide rushed to find ways to track and predict the virus's movement and ...

In the January 31 Nature, Salanoubat et al. report the complete genome sequence of the soil-borne plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum (Nature 2002, 415:497-502). The French research team sequenced ...

Many of the answers for effectively responding to a pathogen lie in its genome. Understanding the genetic code of a pathogen like Ebola or the virus that causes COVID-19 allows scientists to track its ...

The Forum on Microbial Threats will host a public workshop to examine how genomics technologies have been applied to disease surveillance and response and identify potential opportunities for broader ...

The rapid identification and genomic analysis of zoonotic pathogens are critical for safeguarding public health and controlling outbreaks. PathoBase, an advanced computational platform, provides a ...

Researchers with Baylor College of Medicine and Texas A&M AgriLife Research collaborated with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, SCINet project and Ag100Pest Initiative ...

Decades of work on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at UB and the Veterans Affairs Western New York Healthcare System have yielded extraordinary information about the pathogen that does ...

Ancient DNA is turning human evolution into a crime scene reconstruction, and one of the prime suspects is a herpesvirus that ...
