Infectious bursal disease (IBD), a highly contagious viral disease in young chickens, poses significant economic losses due to high mortality and immunosuppression. While IBD virus (IBDV) virulence is influenced by multiple genes, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of IBDV is crucial for defining the strain pathotype and clinical profile. Flinders Technology Associates (FTA) cards are convenient for field sample collection, but their filter paper matrix can hinder nucleic acid recovery, impacting sequencing efficiency.

Despite advances in genomic diagnostics, the majority of individuals with rare diseases remain without a confirmed genetic diagnosis. The rapid emergence of advanced omics technologies, such as long-read genome sequencing, optical genome mapping and multiomic profiling, has improved diagnostic yield but also substantially increased analytical and interpretational complexity. Addressing this complexity requires systematic multidisciplinary collaboration, as recently demonstrated by targeted diagnostic workshops.

Background: Clonotyping of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene rearrangements is critical for diagnosis, prognostication, and measurable residual disease monitoring in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Although short-read next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, such as Illumina MiSeq, are widely used, they face challenges in spanning full VDJ rearrangements. Long-read sequencing via Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers a potential alternative using the compact and cost-effective flow cells.

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.
