Packing nanomechanics of viral genomes [PDF]
The European Physical Journal E, 2008 We investigate the osmotic equilibrium between a bulk polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution and DNA tightly packed in a spherical capsid. We base our analysis on the equations of thermodynamic equilibrium in terms of osmotic pressure. The equality between external osmotic pressure of PEG and osmotic pressure of tightly packed DNA gives us the DNA ...

Viral Genomics and Bioinformatics [PDF]
Viruses, 2010 From the recognition by Ivanovski in 1892 that tobacco mosaic disease is caused and transmitted by fine pore filtrates [1], viruses have been isolated, characterized, identified and studied from animals, plants, protists, bacteria and even other viruses [2,3].

INVERTED REPEATS IN VIRAL GENOMES [PDF]
Fluctuation and Noise Letters, 2005 We investigate 738 complete genomes of viruses to detect the presence of short inverted repeats. The number of inverted repeats found is compared with the prediction obtained for a Bernoullian and for a Markovian control model. We find as a statistical regularity that the number of observed inverted repeats is often greater than the one expected in ...

Nature Communications, 2020 Disease prognosis after infection with Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and Epstein-Barr Virus is highly variable. Here the authors carry out epidemiological and genetic analysis of a Ugandan cohort and suggest complex interactions may influence ...

Genome Biology, 2021 The integration of a viral genome into the host genome has a major impact on the trajectory of the infected cell. Integration location and variation within the associated viral genome can influence both clonal expansion and persistence of infected cells.

Genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 virus with a bioinformatics platform
Universidad Médica Pinareña, 2020 Introduction: viral epidemics have presented a risk to human health since they can turn into pandemics and affect a large part of the population, especially for poor developing countries. In 2020, the worldwide pandemic of COVID-19 is underway.

mSphere, 2016 A novel group of mammalian DNA viruses called elephant endotheliotropic herpesviruses (EEHVs) belonging to the Proboscivirus genus has been associated with nearly 100 cases of highly lethal acute hemorrhagic disease in young Asian elephants worldwide ...

Genomic Analysis of Viral Outbreaks [PDF]
Annual Review of Virology, 2016 Genomic analysis is a powerful tool for understanding viral disease outbreaks. Sequencing of viral samples is now easier and cheaper than ever before and can supplement epidemiological methods by providing nucleotide-level resolution of outbreak-causing pathogens.

mSphere, 2016 Nearly 100 cases of lethal acute hemorrhagic disease in young Asian elephants have been reported worldwide. All tested cases contained high levels of elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV) DNA in pathological blood or tissue samples.
