Article Abstract
Facing multidrug resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens is one of the most important challenges for our society. The spread of highly virulent and resistant pathogens can be described using molecular typing technologies; in particular, whole genome sequencing (WGS) data can be used for molecular typing purposes with high resolution. WGS data analysis can explain the spatiotemporal patterns of pathogen transmission. However, the transmission between compartments (human, animal, food, environment) is very complex. Interoperable and curated metadata are a key requirement for fully understanding this complexity. In addition, high quality sequence data are a key element between centres using WGS data for diagnostic and epidemiological applications. We aim to describe steps to improve WGS data analysis and to implement a molecular surveillance platform allowing integration of high resolution WGS typing data and epidemiological data.

Low-cost and high-throughput RNA sequencing data for barley RILs achieved GP performance comparable to or better than traditional SNP array datasets when combined with parental whole-genome sequencing SNP data. The field of genomic selection (GS) is advancing rapidly on many fronts including the utilization of multi-omics datasets with the goal of increasing prediction ability and becoming an integral part of an increasing number of breeding programs ensuring future food security. In this study, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) data to perform genomic prediction (GP) on three related barley RIL populations.

Epinephelus tukula is an economically important aquaculture animal, and a major parent in grouper crossbreeding. To better preserve and exploit E. tukula germplasm resources, a core collection (containing 34 individuals derived from 10 genetic groups) was first constructed based on phenotypic growth traits and whole-genome resequencing (WGS) data.

emerged in Chicago, IL, USA, in 2016 and has since become endemic. We used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of 494 isolates, epidemiologic metadata and patient transfer data to describe the transmission of among Chicago healthcare facilities between 2016 and 2021. In total, 99% of isolates formed a single clade IV phylogenetic lineage, suggesting a single introduction.

In standard short-read whole-exome sequencing (WES), capture probes are typically designed to target the protein-coding regions (CDS), and regions outside the exons-except for adjacent intronic sequences-are rarely sequenced. Although the majority of known pathogenic variants reside within the CDS as nonsynonymous variants, some disease-causing variants are located in regions that are difficult to detect by WES alone, such as deep intronic variants and structural variants, often requiring whole-genome sequencing (WGS) for detection. Moreover, WES has limitations in reliably identifying pathogenic variants within mitochondrial DNA or repetitive regions.

Maintaining cellular ploidy is critical for normal physiological processes, although gains in ploidy are frequently observed during development, tissue regeneration, and metabolism, and potentially contribute to aneuploidy, thereby promoting tumor evolution. Although numerous computational tools have been developed to estimate cellular ploidy from whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data at bulk or single-cell resolution, to the knowledge, no systematic comparison of their performance has been conducted. Here, a benchmarking study is presented of 11 methods for bulk WGS and 8 methods for single-cell WGS data, utilizing both experimental and simulated datasets derived from diploid cells mixed with aneuploid or polyploid cells.
