    Patterns of within-host genetic diversity in SARS-CoV-2

    Gerry Tonkin-Hill, Inigo Martincorena ... Wellcome Sanger Institute COVID-19 Surveillance Team
    Characterisation of within-host diversity of SARS-CoV-2 provides insights into the mutational and selective mechanisms driving its evolution and has important implications for using within-host variation to inform transmission inference efforts.

    Mucosal effects of tenofovir 1% gel

    Florian Hladik, Adam Burgener ... Ian McGowan
    Mucosal application of the anti-retroviral drug tenofovir, which is intended to prevent HIV transmission, has many off-target effects on the mucosa itself.

    A case study for a psychographic-behavioral segmentation approach for targeted demand generation in voluntary medical male circumcision

    Sema K Sgaier, Maria Eletskaya ... Steve Kretschmer
    A novel, hybrid segmentation technique reveals human heterogeneity in barriers towards a behavior, and is applied to characterize distinct segments in voluntary medical male circumcision.

    Large-scale whole genome sequencing of M. tuberculosis provides insights into transmission in a high prevalence area

    JA Guerra-Assunção, AC Crampin ... JR Glynn
    A study of tuberculosis cases in the Karonga district of Malawi reveals that the main lineages of M. tuberculosis differ in their transmission patterns and virulence.

    HIV-1 Vpr antagonizes innate immune activation by targeting karyopherin-mediated NF-κB/IRF3 nuclear transport

    Hataf Khan, Rebecca P Sumner ... Greg J Towers
    HIV-1 Vpr antagonises innate immune sensing of viral and non-viral stimuli by preventing activated IRF3 and NF-κB nuclear transport.

    A user-friendly, open-source tool to project impact and cost of diagnostic tests for tuberculosis

    David W Dowdy, Jason R Andrews ... Robert H Gilman
    A freely available computer program that takes into account specific local conditions enables users to predict the impact of adopting different diagnostic strategies on the spread of tuberculosis in their region.

    The role of migration networks in the development of Botswana’s generalized HIV epidemic

    Janet Song, Justin T Okano ... Sally Blower
    Complex migration networks can help explain the development of generalized HIV epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa.

    Improved characterisation of MRSA transmission using within-host bacterial sequence diversity

    Matthew D Hall, Matthew TG Holden ... Christophe Fraser
    Reconstruction of transmission pathways of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus using multiple genomes per host reveals great variation in the size of the transmission bottleneck and limited evidence for body site/phylogeny association.

    Longitudinal imaging of HIV-1 spread in humanized mice with parallel 3D immunofluorescence and electron tomography

    Collin Kieffer, Mark S Ladinsky ... Pamela J Bjorkman
    Combined tissue clearing, 3D-immunofluorescence, and electron tomography spatially revealed the dynamics of early HIV-1 spread within lymphoid tissues of humanized mice at the resolution of single cells and individual virions.
