New genetic signals for lung function highlight pathways and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease associations across multiple ancestries (Publications)
Reduced lung function predicts mortality and is key to the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In a genome-wide association study in 400,102 individuals of European ancestry, we
Evaluating next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods for routine monitoring of wild bees: metabarcoding, mitogenomics or NGS barcoding (Publications)
Implementing cost-effective monitoring programs for wild bees remains challenging due to the high costs of sampling and specimen identification. To reduce costs, next generation sequencing (NGS)-based

A limited number of studies have addressed environmental inequality, using various study designs and methodologies and often reaching contradictory results. Following a standardized multi-city data co
Reference set of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis </em>clinical strains: a tool for research and product development (Publications)
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) causes tuberculosis (TB) in humans and various other mammals. The human-adapted members of the MTBC comprise seven phylogenetic lineages that differ in th
