DNA and RNA modifications have important functions, including the regulation of gene
expression. Existing methods based on short-read sequencing for the detection of …

With rapid developments in livestock and poultry farming, antibiotics and heavy metals are
entering the soil environment as feed additives. However, their relationships with antibiotic …

The increasing incidence and changing epidemiology of invasive fungal infections continue
to present many challenges to their effective management. The repertoire of antifungal drugs …

Rapid evolution and propagation of multidrug resistance among bacterial pathogens are
outpacing the development of new antibiotics, but antimicrobial photodynamic therapy …

Bacterial infections and antimicrobial resistance are a major cause for morbidity and
mortality worldwide. Antimicrobial resistance often arises from antimicrobial misuse, where …

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA
sequencing) is becoming an attractive diagnostic modality for infectious diseases, allowing …
