TL;DR: Gulls may serve as genetic mixing vessels for different lineages of avian influenza, similar to the role of swine with regards to human influenza, as well as document virus intercontinental movement.

TL;DR: W Whole-genome sequence analyses of mixed RVA strains underscore the considerable diversity of rotavirus sequences and genome segment combinations that result from a complex evolutionary history involving multiple host species.

TL;DR: The biological sexing of a ~4000-year-old Egyptian mummy is described using shotgun sequencing and two established methods of biological sex determination (RX and RY), by way of mitochondrial genome analysis as a means of sequence data authentication.

TL;DR: A fully integrated computational PCR primer design pipeline is developed that plays a key role in the authors' high-throughput directed sequencing pipeline and novel and accurate computational methods capable of identifying primers that may lead to PCR failures are discovered.

TL;DR: The use of this metadata standard by all ongoing and future GSCID sequencing projects will provide a consistent representation of these data in the BRC resources and other repositories that leverage these data, allowing investigators to identify relevant genomic sequences and perform comparative genomics analyses that are both statistically meaningful and biologically relevant.
