This programme aims to implement genomic epidemiology approaches to characterize the genetic determinants of antimicrobial resistance, identify transmission pathways, and monitor the dissemination of high-risk bacterial clones across healthcare settings in Armenia. Using whole-genome sequencing (WGS), bioinformatics analyses, and integration of epidemiological data, the project will investigate the priority drug-resistant pathogens associated with the spread of difficult-to-treat infections in ...

Project Importance The high likelihood of developing genomic instability due to exposure to ionizing radiation suggests that exposure can cause DNA damage to hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), promoting the development of somatic mutations that can lead to aberrant clonal events. Thus, it is conceivable that space ...

Aligned sequencing data is available in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/) under accession SRP095082. Variants were called using GATK HaplotypeCaller (version 3.6). After joint performing joint genotyping multi-sample vcf file was generated. Next, SNPs and indels were extracted into two different vcf files and specific set of filters were applied for each case.

Patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are reprogrammed somatic cells derived from individual patients through the expression of key transcription factors (e.g., OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC). These cells exhibit pluripotency, allowing them to differentiate into various cell types and serve as in vitro models for studying disease mechanisms, drug screening, and regenerative medicine.
