    Genetic epidemiology of dengue viruses in phase III trials of the CYD tetravalent dengue vaccine and implications for efficacy

    Maia A Rabaa, Yves Girerd-Chambaz ... Cameron P Simmons
    In large vaccine trials conducted in dengue-endemic Asia and Latin America, the CYD-TDV tetravalent dengue vaccine shows limited variation in intra-serotype efficacy in the target population for vaccination (>9 years).

    Admixture into and within sub-Saharan Africa

    George BJ Busby, Gavin Band ... Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Network
    Gene flow analysis reveals that the genomes of most sub-Saharan populations are the result of recent historical admixture events.

    Genetic insights into ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine

    Yoshinao Koike, Masahiko Takahata ... Shiro Ikegawa
    A GWAS meta-analysis for OPLL identified fourteen significant genomic loci and a subsequent Mendelian randomization study provided genetic evidence for a causal effect of obesity on the pathogenesis of OPLL, especially one of its subtypes, thoracic OPLL.

    Evolutionary genomics of epidemic visceral leishmaniasis in the Indian subcontinent

    Hideo Imamura, Tim Downing ... James A Cotton
    Genome sequencing reveals the evolution and epidemiology of Leishmania donovani in the Indian subcontinent, where epidemics have caused up to 30,000 deaths per year.

    Antigenic drift and subtype interference shape A(H3N2) epidemic dynamics in the United States

    Amanda C Perofsky, John Huddleston ... Cécile Viboud
    Antigenic drift in influenza’s major surface proteins, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase, contributes to variability in epidemic magnitude across seasons but is less influential than subtype interference in shaping annual outbreaks.

    Risk factors affecting polygenic score performance across diverse cohorts

    Daniel Hui, Scott Dudek ... Marylyn D Ritchie
    Numerous related sample characteristics affect polygenic score performance, and incorporation of interaction effects increases both model and polygenic score performance.

    Previously undetected super-spreading of Mycobacterium tuberculosis revealed by deep sequencing

    Robyn S Lee, Jean-François Proulx ... William P Hanage
    Incorporating within-host diversity in transmission, as identified by deep sequencing, can significantly change previously-held inferences, with major implications for genomic studies of transmission in tuberculosis and other pathogens as well.

    Body mass index and childhood symptoms of depression, anxiety, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder: A within-family Mendelian randomization study

    Amanda M Hughes, Eleanor Sanderson ... Neil M Davies
    It is unclear how much a child's BMI at age 8 affects their depressive and ADHD symptoms after family-level factors are accounted for, but a substantial impact on anxiety symptoms is unlikely.
