Severity of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.7 lineage among hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Belgium.
the mean ICU occupancy rate during the patient’s hospital stay. Other variables identified as confounders in a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) were adjusted for using regression analysis. Sensitivity ...
Whole-Genome Sequence Approach and Phylogenomic Stratification Improve the Association Analysis of Mutations With Patient Data in Influenza Surveillance.
mainly focused on the hemagglutinin gene. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) enables tracking mutations across all influenza segments allowing a better understanding of the epidemiological effects of intra- and ...
Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
in these settings, this approach should be appropriately developed and validated from sampling and DNA extraction to sequencing and data analysis. Methodology: Third generation sequencing technologies ...
Development, evaluation and optimization of next generation sequencing data analysis tools in support of a fast response for public health and food chain safety
Publication Type: Dissertation Authors: Assia Saltykova Source: Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium, p.308 (2022) Keywords: bioinformatics tools Database GMO Metagenomics NGS outbreak investigation unauthorized GMO WGS-based subtyping Health Topics: Health ...
Detection of regulated and prohibited plants in plant food supplements
Belgium the OMCL is regularly asked to perform analysis in this context, namely to identify/detect a certain plant in a herbal preparation, composed of a mixture of different plants. For this purpose the ...
The 2021 WHO catalogue of complex mutations associated with drug resistance: A genotypic analysis.
resistance, or consistent with susceptibility, for 13 WHO endorsed anti-tuberculosis drugs. 38,215 MTBC isolates with paired whole-genome sequencing and phenotypic drug susceptibility testing data were amassed ...
Listeria monocytogenes isolates from Cornu aspersum snails: Whole genome-based characterization and host-pathogen interactions in a snail infection model.
sequencing Abstract: Even though Listeria monocytogenes is an extensive-studied foodborne pathogen, genome analysis of isolates from snails that may represent a reservoir of L. monocytogenes are still scarce. ...
Development of a data-intensive centralized system for surveillance and outbreak investigation of bacterial pathogens using whole-genome sequencing
a limiting factor, as full runs on Illumina sequencers typically take several days to complete. Therefore, a real-time data analysis protocol for Illumina sequencing was implemented, enabling data analysis ...
A Summer of Cyanobacterial Blooms in Belgian Waterbodies: Microcystin Quantification and Molecular Characterizations
Source: Toxins, Volume 14, Issue 1 (2022) Keywords: analysis blooms Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) Mass Spectrometry microcystin Monitoring planktonic cyanobacteria Abstract: ...
Strategy and Performance Evaluation of Low-Frequency Variant Calling for SARS-CoV-2 Using Targeted Deep Illumina Sequencing
consensus genome sequence of the most abundant strain is taken into consideration for analysis, but multiple variant strains are now circulating in the population. Consequently, in diagnostic samples, ...
