    Rifampicin tolerance and growth fitness among isoniazid-resistant clinical Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from a longitudinal study

    Srinivasan Vijay, Nguyen Le Hoai Bao ... Nguyen Thuy Thuong
    Isoniazid resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is linked to higher rifampicin tolerance, necessitating evaluation and potential adjustment of treatment regimens to combat emerging multi-drug resistant variants.

    Machine learning approaches identify immunologic signatures of total and intact HIV DNA during long-term antiretroviral therapy

    Lesia Semenova, Yingfan Wang ... Edward P Browne
    Dimension reduction and machine learning tools were used to identify novel associations between the HIV reservoir and the immune systems of people with HIV.

    Recombinant origin and interspecies transmission of a HERV-K(HML-2)-related primate retrovirus with a novel RNA transport element

    Zachary H Williams, Alvaro Dafonte Imedio ... Welkin E Johnson
    The genetic 'fossil record' of a retroviral lineage over >25 million years of evolution reveals the profound consequences of an ancient recombination event on viral replication mechanisms and genome structure, and identifies an ancient interspecies viral transmission.

    Reversions mask the contribution of adaptive evolution in microbiomes

    Paul A Torrillo, Tami D Lieberman
    The timescale dependence of dN/dS in bacteria is better explained by adaptive than purifying dynamics, suggesting comparative genomics can underestimate past adaptation.

    Divergent downstream biosynthetic pathways are supported by L-cysteine synthases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

    Mehak Zahoor Khan, Debbie M Hunt ... Vinay Kumar Nandicoori
    CysM and CysK2 play complementary and overlapping roles in Mtb's adaptation to environmental stress that are crucial for survival.

    Polysaccharides induce deep-sea Lentisphaerae strains to release chronic bacteriophages

    Chong Wang, Rikuan Zheng ... Chaomin Sun
    Chronic bacteriophages are induced by the supplement of polysaccharide in the deep-sea Lentisphaerae strains, and these bacteriophages potentially reprogram host polysaccharide metabolism through the auxiliary metabolic genes.
