Pathogen sequencing is an important tool for disease surveillance and demonstrated its high value during the COVID-19 pandemic. Viral sequencing during the pandemic allowed us to track disease spread, quickly identify new variants, and guide the development of vaccines. Tiled amplicon sequencing, in which a panel of primers is used for multiplex amplification of fragments across an entire genome, was the cornerstone of SARS-CoV-2 sequencing.

- The study analyzed health behaviors of children and youth in rural versus urban areas who participated in the Generation Health Clinic in British Columbia, focusing on diet, physical activity, and sleep from 2015 to 2019.
- Urban children had healthier eating habits, such as more family meals and less frequent consumption of sports drinks, compared to their rural counterparts.
- No notable differences in health behaviors were observed among adolescents, indicating that geographical location is an important factor in tailoring family-based weight management programs.
Semiconductor-metal hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) are promising materials for photocatalytic applications, such as water splitting for green hydrogen generation. While most studies have focused on Cd containing HNPs, the realization of actual applications will require environmentally compatible systems. Using heavy-metal free ZnSe-Au HNPs as a model, we investigate the dependence of their functionality and efficiency on the cocatalyst metal domain characteristics ranging from the single-atom catalyst (SAC) regime to metal-tipped systems.

This study investigates the relationship between being confined in an adult jail or prison as a minor and experiencing violent victimization as an adult.
Methods: Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth-1997 cohort were used in the study.
