TL;DR: A mathematical model for infectiousness was developed to estimate the basic reproductive number R0 and to quantify the contribution of different transmission routes and the requirements for successful contact tracing, and the combination of two key parameters needed to reduce R0 to less than 1 was determined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used deep-sequenced 1313 clinical samples from the United Kingdom to characterize within-host diversity and transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of the National Health Service (NHS) COVID-19 app for England and Wales, from its launch on 24 September 2020 to the end of December 2020.

TL;DR: This paper provides a comprehensive set of estimators of the most common statistics in population genetics based on the frequency spectrum, namely the Watterson estimator θW, nucleotide pairwise diversity Π, Tajima's D, Fu and Li's D and F, Fay and Wu's H, McDonald‐Kreitman and HKA tests and FST, corrected for sequencing errors and ascertainment bias.

TL;DR: Although domesticated breeds have experienced similar selective pressures, selection has acted upon different genes that might reflect the multiple domestication events of European breeds or could be the result of subsequent introgression of Asian alleles.
