    Description

    With over 2,500 identified species across the globe, fleas are notorious veterinary pests and vectors of pathogens, including Rickettsia typhi (murine typhus), R. felis (murine typhus-like illness), Bartonella henselae (cat-scratch disease), and myxoma virus (Myxomatosis). Speciation of fleas is reliant on distinguishing morphological features; however, studies have also used certain mitochondrial...

    Description

    This dataset was used to overview the taxonomic composition of the gastrointestinal microbiomes during the first two years of life with the intent to better understand the effects of the invasive pathogen, Shigella. Data was collected through a two year longitudinal study of a mother-infant cohort in Malawi, using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing to characterize the gastrointestinal microbiota. Rectal...

    Description

    This study introduces a novel application of the MAGMA (Multi-marker Analysis of GenoMic Annotation) software tool that enables testing for associations between enhancer attributes and risk to determine the enhancer characteristics that are associated with risk for schizophrenia. The study uses the RWAS (Regulome Wide Association Study) framework to first collect enhancer annotations in a tissue...

    Description

    The dataset contains data pertaining to the examination of draft genomes of 388 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates obtained from intensive care unit patients at three geographically distributed hospitals. The purpose of the study was to determine genomic diversity associated with potential health care worker-associated transmission. Relevant statistics, including linked GenBank and...
