Bayesian cluster analysis with applications to pathogen population genomics

Identifying similarity patterns in heterogeneous observations is a very common problem in many branches of science. When the similarities and dissimilarities are encoded by a group structure, the task of dividing the observed sample into an unknown …

Dense genomic sampling identifies highways of pneumococcal recombination

Evasion of clinical interventions by Streptococcus pneumoniae occurs through selection of non-susceptible genomic variants. We report whole-genome sequencing of 3,085 pneumococcal carriage isolates from a 2.4 km2 refugee camp. This sequencing …
