TL;DR: The pros and cons of genome sequencing for taxonomy are reviewed and it is proposed that the incorporation of genome sequences in taxonomic studies has the advantage of using reliable and reproducible data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that auto-antibodies neutralizing high concentrations (10 ng/mL, in plasma diluted 1 to 10) of IFN-α and/or -ω are found in about 10% of patients with critical COVID-19 pneumonia, but not in subjects with asymptomatic infections.

TL;DR: A considerable limitation to the interpretation of studies of human gut microbiota is associated with funding sources and transparency disclosures, and studies independent of food industry funding and using complementary methods from a broad range of both culture-based and molecular tools will increase knowledge of the repertoire of this complex ecosystem and host-microbiota mutualism.

TL;DR: The studies describing the associations between the microbiota composition, its manipulation, and obesity are reviewed to propose mechanisms linking the microbiota to fat content and weight.

TL;DR: Results suggest that early diagnosis, early isolation and early treatment of COVID-19 patients, with at least 3 days of HCQ-AZ lead to a significantly better clinical outcome and a faster viral load reduction than other treatments.
