Blood RNA-seq in rare disease diagnostics: a comparative study of cases with and without candidate variants by Xiaomei Luo, Bing Xiao, Lili Liang, Kaichuang Zhang, Ting Xu, Huili Liu, Yi Liu, Yongguo Yu, Yanjie Fan

“…Abstract Background Approximately 60% of rare disease cases remain unsolved after exome and genome sequencing (ES/GS). Blood RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) complements DNA-level diagnosis by revealing the functional impact of variants on gene expression and splicing, but to what extent RNA-driven approaches offer diagnostic benefits across different scenarios—with and without pre-existing candidate variants—remains uncertain. …”

Genome analysis of colistin-resistant Salmonella isolates from human sources in Guizhou of southwestern China, 2019–2023 by Jingtong Wu, Yongxian Wen, Lv You, Xiaoyu Wei, Xiaoyu Wei, Junhua Wang, Ge Zhu, Shijun Li

“…Therefore, it is necessary to monitor CL-R Salmonella in Guizhou and systematically elucidate their characteristics-related resistance, virulence, and molecular epidemiology to develop effective public health strategies against resistant pathogens.MethodsThe CL-R Salmonella isolates were identified from 933 Salmonella isolates by antimicrobial resistance testing. To further evaluate the molecular epidemiology, the CL-R Salmonella isolates underwent whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis followed by bioinformatic analysis.ResultsA total of 43 CL-R isolates (4.6%) were identified from 933 Salmonella isolates, of which 39 isolates being MDR (resistance to three or more classes of antimicrobials). …”
