Author(s)
Tim Dunn, Justin Zook, James Holt, Satish Narayanasamy
In this work, we extend vcfdist to be the first variant call benchmarking tool to jointly evaluate phased single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small insertions/deletions (INDELs), and structural variants (SVs) for the whole genome. First, we find that a

Optimizing Wastewater Surveillance: The Necessity of Standardized Reporting and Proficiency for Public Health

August 7, 2024
Author(s)
Ishi Keenum, Nancy Lin, Alshae Logan, Adam Gushgari, Nishita D'Souza4, Joshua Steele, Devrim Kaya, Lydia Gushgari
Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) has emerged as a valuable tool for public health, allowing a greater understanding of disease prevalence in communities. With historical significance in monitoring polio transmission,1 WBS gained further prominence in
