Journal ArticleDOI
Self-destructive cooperation mediated by phenotypic noise.
Martin Ackermann,Bärbel Stecher,Nikki E. Freed,Pascal Songhet,Wolf-Dietrich Hardt,Michael Doebeli +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that noisy expression of self-destructive cooperation can evolve if individuals that have a higher probability for self-destruction have, on average, access to larger public goods, and that self- destructive cooperation mediated by phenotypic noise could be important in bacterial pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid identification and strain-typing of respiratory pathogens for epidemic surveillance

TL;DR: A high-throughput method to simultaneously identify and genotype species of bacteria from complex mixtures in respiratory samples is described, which will provide information fundamental to understanding the polymicrobial nature of explosive epidemics of respiratory disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid and inexpensive whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 using 1200 bp tiled amplicons and Oxford Nanopore Rapid Barcoding.
TL;DR: It is shown that using a new multiplexed set of primers in conjunction with the Oxford Nanopore Rapid Barcode library kit allows for faster, simpler, and less expensive SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission dynamics and prospective environmental sampling of adenovirus in a military recruit setting.

TL;DR: Potential sources of adenovirus transmission among US military recruits included the presence of adanovirus on surfaces in living quarters and extended pharyngeal viral shedding over the course of several days.
Journal ArticleDOI
