Biomarker of Female Precancer Risk from HPV Found in Microbiome
Gardnerella bacteria were the dominant biomarker for the progression of HR-HPV and its effect is mediated by increased cervicovaginal bacterial diversity directly preceding the progression of a persistent infection to precancer.
Stanford Researchers Dig Into Community Spread of COVID-19
The researchers explain why it is an urgent matter for environmental engineers and scientists to collaborate on pinpointing viral and environmental characteristics that affect COVID-19 transmission via surfaces, the air, and fecal matter.

Engineers Model Mutations that Cause Drug Resistance
The research suggests that therapeutic targeting should aim at the most probable mutation rather than the most resistant, at least for some cancers.
Of Known Significance
An exclusive Clinical OMICs conversation with the director of Genomes2People, Robert Green, M.D., MPH.
ACE inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers May Increase Mortality Rate In Elderly COVID-19 Patients
These highly prescribed medications change cell surface protein expression, which is particularly problematic in cells in the respiratory system—tissue that is vulnerable to targeting and attack by the COVID-19 virus.
Clinical Combinations
Clinicians pursue combining genotypes with phenotypes to provide more precise healthcare.
U.K. to Use Nanopore Sequencing to Map COVID-19 Spread
A notable addition to the effort is a team from the University of Birmingham, led by Nick Loman, Ph.D., professor of Microbial Genomics and Bioinformatics in the Institute of Microbiology and Infection, whose lab is known for fusing cutting-edge sequencing with microbial genomics.
New Study Suggests COVID-19 Reinfection Unlikely
The study used four adult Chinese rhesus macaques and found that those monkeys that had been re-exposed to SARS-CoV-2, like the unexposed control monkey, showed no recurrence of COVID-19.
