HIV-1 Integrates Widely throughout the Genome of the Human Blood Fluke Schistosoma mansoni.
Schistosomiasis is the most important helminthic disease of humanity in terms of morbidity and mortality. Facile manipulation of schistosomes using lentiviruses would enable advances in functional genomics in these and related neglected tropical diseases

Multicolour interphase cytogenetics: 24 chromosome probes, 6 colours, 4 layers [PDF]
From the late 1980s onwards, the use of DNA probes to visualise sequences on individual chromosomes (fluorescent in-situ hybridisation - FISH) revolutionised the study of cytogenetics.

AAV integration in human hepatocytes.
Recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vectors are considered promising tools for gene therapy directed at the liver. While rAAV is thought to be an episomal vector, its single stranded DNA genome is prone to intra and inter -molecular recombination ...
