Elapsed time since BNT162b2 vaccine and risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a large cohort
Ariel Israel,Eugene Merzon,Alejandro A. Schäffer,Yotam Shenhar,Ilan Green,Avivit Golan-Cohen,Eytan Ruppin,Eli Magen,Shlomo Vinker +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale COVID-19 vaccination campaign was conducted in Israel and the authors found a significant increase of the risk of infection in individuals who received their last vaccine dose since at least 146 days ago, particularly among patients older than 60.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The integrated map obtained presents the most comprehensive information on the physical and comparative organization of the equine genome and will assist future assemblies of whole genome BAC fingerprint maps and the genome sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic selection of loop breakers for genetic linkage analysis.
TL;DR: The algorithm for finding loop breakers, called LOOPBREAKER, is a combination of a new algorithm that is guaranteed to be optimal in the special case of pedigrees with no multiple marriages and an adaptation of a known algorithm for breaking loops in general graphs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linkage of autosomal-dominant common variable immunodeficiency to chromosome 4q
Anemone Finck,Jos W. M. van der Meer,Alejandro A. Schäffer,Jessica Pfannstiel,Claire Fieschi,Alessandro Plebani,A. David B. Webster,Lennart Hammarström,Bodo Grimbacher +8 more
TL;DR: A collection of 32 families with at least one CVID case and a second case of either CVID or IgAD has a peak multipoint LOD score under heterogeneity of 0.32, supporting the existence of a disease-causing gene for autosomal-dominant CVID/IgAD on chromosome 4q.
