Genome resequencing with short reads generally relies on alignments against a single reference. GenomeMapper supports simultaneous mapping of short reads against multiple genomes by integrating related genomes (e.g., individuals of the same species) into a single graph structure. It constitutes the first approach for handling multiple references and introduces representations for alignments against complex structures. Demonstrated benefits include access to polymorphisms that cannot be identified by alignments against the reference alone. Download GenomeMapper at http://1001genomes.org.

Mussels, particularly Perna viridis, are vital sentinel species for toxicology and biomonitoring in environmental health. This species plays a crucial role in aquaculture and significantly impacts the fisheries sector. Despite the ecological and economic importance of this species, its omics resources are still scarce.

Background: Preterm infants (PIs) are more susceptible to neurodevelopmental impairment compared with term newborns. Adequate postnatal growth has been associated with improved neurocognitive outcomes; therefore, optimization of nutrition may positively impact the neurodevelopment of PIs.
Objective: This study focused on macronutrient parenteral nutrition (PN) intake during the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit stay and their associations with neurodevelopmental outcomes in PIs in the first two years of life.

: Infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR)bacteria pose a significant public health threat by worsening patient outcomes, contributing to hospital outbreaks, and increasing health and economic burdens. Advanced genomic tools enhance the detection of resistance genes, virulence factors, and high-risk clones, thus improving the management of MDR infections. In the Autonomous Community of Aragon, the diversity and incidence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) have increased during the last years.

Since the 1990s, the Pacific oyster has faced significant mortality, which has been associated with the detection of the Ostreid Herpesvirus type 1 (OsHV-1). Due to the complex genomic architecture and the presence of multiple genomic isomers, short-read sequencing using Illumina method struggles to accurately assemble tandem and repeat regions and to identify and characterize large structural variations in the OsHV-1 genome. Third-generation sequencing technologies, as long-read real-time nanopore sequencing from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT), offer new possibilities for OsHV-1 whole-genome analysis.

Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, is frequently associated with multidrug resistance and global epidemic outbreaks, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. However, P. aeruginosa belonging to the sequence type (ST) 16 was rarely reported.
