Population Differences in SARS-CoV-2 Response Uncovered in Single-Cell Sequencing Study
A single-cell analysis suggests immune cell proportions and blood cell expression patterns vary between individuals, across populations, and with exposure to different viruses.
The five-year IndexThePlanet project is supported by a €2 million ($2.1 million) European Research Council consolidator grant.
Black Death Sequencing Study Reveals Impacts on Human Immune Evolution, Autoimmune Disease
Researchers profiled DNA sequences in hundreds of ancient Europeans to find immune gene- and autoimmune disease-related variants under selection during the plague pandemic.
Studies Unravel SARS-CoV-2 Protein Interactions With Human Proteins
A pair of studies identified connections between proteins from SARS-CoV-2 and human cells, hitting on key host pathways and potential treatment targets.
Vanuatu Population Structure, History Drawn From Contemporary Genetic Data
