Parvovirus b19 DNA CpG dinucleotide methylation and epigenetic regulation of viral expression. [PDF]
CpG DNA methylation is one of the main epigenetic modifications playing a role in the control of gene expression. For DNA viruses whose genome has the ability to integrate in the host genome or to maintain as a latent episome, a correlation has been ...

Rapid whole genome sequencing methods for RNA viruses
RNA viruses are the etiological agents of many infectious diseases. Since RNA viruses are error-prone during genome replication, rapid, accurate and economical whole RNA viral genome sequence determination is highly demanded.

The consequences of reconfiguring the ambisense S genome segment of Rift Valley fever virus on viral replication in mammalian and mosquito cells and for genome packaging [PDF]
Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV, family Bunyaviridae) is a mosquito-borne pathogen of both livestock and humans, found primarily in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.

Viral Genomics and Bioinformatics [PDF]
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].

The human interferon-induced MxA protein inhibits early stages of influenza A virus infection by retaining the incoming viral genome in the cytoplasm [PDF]
The induction of an interferon-induced antiviral state is a powerful cellular response against viral infection that limits viral spread. Here we show that a pre-existing antiviral state inhibits replication of influenza A viruses in human A549 cells by ...

Genomic Analysis of Viral Outbreaks [PDF]
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.

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.

454-Pyrosequencing: A Molecular Battiscope for Freshwater Viral Ecology [PDF]
Viruses, the most abundant biological entities on the planet, are capable of infecting organisms from all three branches of life, although the majority infect bacteria where the greatest degree of cellular diversity lies.
