A rigorous benchmarking of methods for SARS-CoV-2 lineage abundance estimation in wastewater

no code implementations29 Sep 2023 Viorel Munteanu, Victor Gordeev, Michael Saldana, Eva Aßmann, Justin Maine Su, Nicolae Drabcinski, Oksana Zlenko, Maryna Kit, Felicia Iordachi, Khooshbu Kantibhai Patel, Abdullah Al Nahid, Likhitha Chittampalli, Yidian Xu, Pavel Skums, Shelesh Agrawal, Martin Hölzer, Adam Smith, Alex Zelikovsky, Serghei Mangul

Here, we perform comprehensive benchmarking of 18 bioinformatics methods for estimating the relative abundance of SARS-CoV-2 (sub)lineages in wastewater by using data from 36 in vitro mixtures of synthetic lineage and sublineage genomes.

Antigenic cooperation in Viral Populations: Transformation of Functions of Intra-Host Viral Variants

no code implementations2 May 2022 Leonid Bunimovich, Athulya Ram, Pavel Skums

In this paper we study intra-host viral adaptation by antigenic cooperation - a mechanism of immune escape that serves as an alternative to the standard mechanism of escape by continuous genomic diversification and allows to explain a number of experimental observations associated with the establishment of chronic infections by highly mutable viruses.

Unlocking capacities of viral genomics for the COVID-19 pandemic response

no code implementations28 Apr 2021 Sergey Knyazev, Karishma Chhugani, Varuni Sarwal, Ram Ayyala, Harman Singh, Smruthi Karthikeyan, Dhrithi Deshpande, Zoia Comarova, Angela Lu, Yuri Porozov, Aiping Wu, Malak Abedalthagafi, Shivashankar Nagaraj, Adam Smith, Pavel Skums, Jason Ladner, Tommy Tsan-Yuk Lam, Nicholas Wu, Alex Zelikovsky, Rob Knight, Keith Crandall, Serghei Mangul

More than any other infectious disease epidemic, the COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by the generation of large volumes of viral genomic data at an incredible pace due to recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies, the rapid global spread of SARS-CoV-2, and its persistent threat to public health.
