The web-server CriSNPr overcomes difficulties associated with the different CRISPR diagnostic platforms that stem from Cas-specific single guide RNA design parameters, thereby minimizing the time and effort required for individual assay design.

Third SARS-CoV-2 vaccination appears to eliminate disparities in anti-Spike antibodies between those who received Pfizer-BioNTech versus Oxford/AstraZeneca for first and second vaccination, but levels remain lower in certain groups such as those on the UK 'Shielded Patient List'.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused an important delay in screening activities at the national level and increased the pre-existing individual and geographical inequalities in access.

Investigating standard lag times prior to the pandemic and identifying key methodological considerations in lag time research can guide future investigations into the impact of time to care for patients with cancer.

Mobility across ecological contexts and continents is more important to describe the worldwide spread of bacterial resistance to aminoglycosides (a family of antibiotics), than the consumption of aminoglycosides itself.

Hepatitis B virus infection is a neglected challenge among communities who are under-served by conventional models of healthcare, requiring enhanced interventions to reduce inequity.

The participation in cervical cancer screening in Denmark was reduced at the start of the pandemic although with longer follow-up time most women resumed screening.

A real-time genomic surveillance approach based on mutation analysis of SARS-CoV-2 proteins has enabled a priori prediction of surge in number of COVID19 infection cases, including those already observed in July and September 2022.

Clinical prediction rules could help identify children at risk of slowed growth after an episode of diarrheal illness, and these rules may be generalizable to all children, regardless of diarrhea status.

Two genome sequencing studies show a consistent association between blood mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) and personality traits and provide support for the hypothesis that mtDNAcn may be a biomarker that connects certain personality characteristics with mortality.
