TL;DR: Investigating the population dynamics of Neolithization across Europe using a high-resolution genome-wide ancient DNA dataset with a total of 180 samples finds that genetic diversity was shaped predominantly by local processes, with varied sources and proportions of hunter-gatherer ancestry among the three regions and through time.

TL;DR: A strain surveillance study in the Budapest area of Hungary (2003–2006) based on RNA profile analysis, genotyping by multiplex PCR and nucleotide sequencing, and sequence and phylogenetic analysis of the VP7, VP4, VP6, and NSP4 genes of selected strains with uncommon antigen combinations demonstrated high similarity with certain bovine, porcine, feline, equine, and lapine rotaviruses, respectively.

TL;DR: The migration of Roma out of the Indian subcontinent was accompanied by a severe founder event, which appears to have been followed by a major demographic expansion after the arrival in Europe, and there is evidence for Eastern Europe being a major source of European ancestry, and North-west India being amajor source of the South Asian ancestry in the Roma.

TL;DR: Findings strongly suggest that this variant of the ApoA5 –1131C gene is a risk factor for the development of hypertriglyceridemia and metabolic syndrome.

TL;DR: The emergence of serotype G12 rotaviruses among children hospitalized with rotavirus gastroenteritis in Hungary during 2005 is described, consistent with recent reports of the possible global spread and increasing epidemiologic importance.
