Nature research paper: Population-scale sequencing resolves determinants of persistent EBV DNA

Population-scale sequencing resolves determinants of persistent EBV DNA - Nature
Population-scale WGS reveals genetic determinants of persistent EBV DNA, linking immune regulation—especially antigen processing and MHC class II variation—to EBV persistence and heterogeneous disease associations.

First paper from grad school & first first-author! It's been a huge team effort, and it was lovely working with everyone. Check out Caleb’s thread summarizing how we used discarded WGS reads from biobanks to study EBV at population scale 🧬

Excited to share our new preprint on detecting Epstein-Barr virus DNA in population-scale sequencing data! Many thanks to
@caleblareau.bsky.social and our wonderful collaborators on this journey, where we leverage large biobanks to uncover more about how this ubiquitous virus impacts our health 🦠🧬🗑️
Excited to share a new preprint from the lab with @ryandhindsa.bsky.social ! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Led by @sherrynyeo.bsky.social, @erinmayc.bsky.social, and friends, we continue our journey to find viral DNA in our favorite place-- the overlooked and discarded reads in existing data! 1/
