Comprehensive whole genome sequence analyses yields novel genetic and structural insights for Intellectual Disability by Farah R. Zahir (18892108)

“…The <i>de novo</i> assembly resulted in unmasking hidden genome instability that was missed by standard re-alignment based algorithms. We also interrogated regulatory sequence variation for known and hypothesized ID genes and present useful strategies for WGS data analyses for non-coding variation.…”

Host Genetic Variants Potentially Associated With SARS-CoV-2: A Multi-Population Analysis by Maria K. Smatti (4675852)

“…Remarkably, Africans seem to carry extremely lower frequencies of SARS-CoV-1 susceptibility alleles, reaching to 32-fold decrease compared to other populations.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">Multiple genetic variants, which could potentially modulate SARS-CoV-2 infection, are significantly variable between populations, with the lowest frequency observed among Africans. …”

Genomic architecture of autism spectrum disorder in Qatar: The BARAKA-Qatar Study by Mona Abdi (10196665)

“…</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">This study illustrates the value of ASD studies in under-represented populations and the importance of WGS as a comprehensive tool for establishing a molecular diagnosis for families with ASD. …”
