TL;DR: The CRISPR-based DETECTR assay provides a visual and faster alternative to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention SARS-CoV-2 real-time RT–PCR assay, with 95% positive predictive agreement and 100% negative predictive agreement.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dual experimental strategy was used to verify and correct the initial genome sequence annotation of the reference plant Arabidopsis and identified 5817 novel transcription units including a substantial amount of antisense gene transcription, and 40 genes within the genetically defined centromeres.

TL;DR: The identification and characterization of T-DNA insertion lines for 18 of the 23 ARF gene family members in Arabidopsis thaliana suggest that the ARF7 and ARF19 proteins play essential roles in auxin-mediated plant development by regulating both unique and partially overlapping sets of target genes.

TL;DR: A 14-year-old boy with severe combined immunodeficiency presented three times to a medical facility over a period of 4 months with fever and headache that progressed to hydrocephalus and status epilepticus necessitating a medically induced coma, confirming evidence of Leptospira santarosai infection.

TL;DR: Routine microbiologic testing is often insufficient to detect all neuroinvasive pathogens, so metagenomic NGS of CSF obtained from patients with meningitis or encephalitis improved diagnosis of neurologic infections and provided actionable information in some cases.
