Such as the content, structure, navigation, functionality, images, and the goal and mission. In the article, I will explain the process behind [Read more]

A small number of early introductions seeded widespread transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Quebec, Canada

A small number of early introductions seeded widespread transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Quebec, Canada In April 2020, the Coronavirus Sequencing in Québec (CoVSeQ) consortium was assembled to sequence SARS-CoV-2 genomes in Québec to track viral introduction events and transmission within the province. Jose Hector Galvez, Pierre-Olivier Quirion, Paul Stretenowich, [Read more]

Platforms to help identify asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19

Platforms to help identify asymptomatic carriers of COVID-19 Identifying asymptomatic carriers of the novel coronavirus is crucial in preventing the spread of COVID-19, particularly in healthcare settings. C3G’s Toronto Node has developed several applications for this purpose across various health institutions. The Mt. Sinai Hospital and Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute’s [Read more]

Understanding why persons living with HIV are at increased risk of tuberculosis

Rare loss-of-function variants in type I IFN immunity genes are not associated with severe COVID-19

Rare loss-of-function variants in type I IFN immunity genes are not associated with severe COVID-19 Host genetic factors related to COVID-19 susceptibility and outcomes are of great interest, as their identification could elucidate the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 infection and severity, thereby providing clues about potential therapeutic targets. A recent [Read more]
