The current generation of sequencing technologies can produce terabases of data with exceptional accuracy and speed, at a fraction of the cost of older methods. Despite this unprecedented power, adoption into aquaculture health management presents several challenges, including identifying where such capability may be optimally deployed. Here we synthesise discussions from a structured expert workshop held at the 2025 Aotearoa...

Crop diversification is a promising strategy to strengthen pest control services in agricultural landscapes. Diversifying crops may limit pests through host crop dilution or by enhancing top‐down control by their enemies. However, crop diversification may also benefit generalist pests through higher resource continuity. Using a large‐scale dataset encompassing 742 landscapes across 13 countries, we assessed the impact of lands...

Purpose Benzylpenicillin is regaining attention as a treatment option for susceptible S. aureus , including in severe invasive diseases such as blood stream infections. Timely and reliable susceptibility determination is essential to support its use in clinical practice. In this study, we assessed the EUCAST-recommended methodology of interpreting zone edges in a national multicenter trial. Methods In total, nine microbiology...

The rapid advancement of DNA sequencing technologies and computational algorithms has led to an unprecedented surge in genomic data, driven by several large-scale sequencing projects worldwide. Orthology plays a crucial role in understanding evolutionary patterns of genes and their functions. At the last Quest for Orthologs meeting (Montréal, Canada—2024), we discussed recent advances in orthology inference, with a focus on th...
