Here, we look at how genetic diversity in mixed STH populations has the potential to impact qPCR-based diagnostics. Turns out, there is a lot of variation, and a lot of potential to cause misdiagnoses.

Enrichment of Helminth Mitochondrial Genomes From Faecal Samples Using Hybridisation Capture
New approaches are urgently needed to enrich rare or low-abundant DNA in complex samples. Soil-transmitted helminths (STHs) inhabit heterogeneous environments, including the gastrointestinal tract of...
I am proud to see our latest work on hybridisation capture in soil-transmitted helminths, led by PhD student @marinapapaiakovou.bsky.social , now published in Molecular Ecology Resources. I am looking forward to scaling this up into larger populations. In the meantime, ๐ฅณ

globally, there are ~3500 described mosquito species in the Culicidae family and many of these are important vectors of disease but only a small percentage have genomic resources. we are launching a pilot project to generate high quality reference genomes for 100 important mosquito species [1/3]

We share a lot of our ideas, code, datasets (that we spend years sanitizing) early. Often way before we release preprints. We do this so that others can use, build on, improve & even "beat" our approaches. But I want to say a few things about some simple expectations 1/
