The SARS-CoV-2 Africa dashboard is an interactive tool that enables visualization of SARS-CoV-2 genomic information in African countries. The customizable app allows users to visualize the number of sequences deposited in each country, and the variants circulating over time. Our dashboard enables near real-time exploration of public data that can inform policymakers, healthcare professionals and the public about the ongoing pandemic.
Longitudinal sampling of patients with hepatitis C virus before and after elimination of the virus reveals links between functions of the gut microbiome and liver disease.
Multi-omics analyses of gut microbiome, liver and blood samples from patients with hepatitis C infection before and after removal of the virus reveal metabolic dysregulation along the gut–liver axis.
Reports of diphtheria cases in asylum seekers in the UK remind us that understanding and mitigating the risks posed by infectious diseases to disadvantaged peoples remain important.
This Resource combines amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenomic sequencing and untargeted metabolomics to provide a global view of microbial–metabolite associations across Earth’s environments.
Genomic analyses of Klebsiella isolates sampled from multiple human, animal and environmental sources in Northern Italy explore Klebsiella population diversity and show that transmission of multidrug-resistant clones between clinical and environmental settings is scarce.
Gold-standard evidence for correlates of protection is provided by analysis of a randomized phase 3 trial of Ad26.COV2.S for protection against moderate to severe-critical COVID-19 disease.
Prochlorococcus is the most abundant photosynthetic organism in the ocean, but single-cell measurements and model simulations reveal that this organism might obtain only 20% of the carbon required for growth from photosynthesis in the deep water column.
Aerobic methanotrophy is a rare trait, yet bacteria with this capacity are key players in the global methane cycle. Here the authors find a methanotrophic Mycobacterium in a cave, indicating that methane utilization is more widespread across bacteria than previously assumed.
Single-cell measurements and modelling show that the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus obtain most of the carbon required for growth from mixotrophy, extending their ecological range and impact in the water column.
