Viral Genome Compression

open access: yes, 2006
Viruses compress their genome to reduce space. One of the main techniques is overlapping genes. We model this process by the shortest common superstring problem, that is, we look for the shortest genome which still contains all genes. We give an algorithm for computing optimal solutions which is slow in the number of strings but fast (linear) in their ...

Viral Vectors for Plant Genome Engineering

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Recent advances in genome engineering (GE) has made it possible to precisely alter DNA sequences in plant cells, providing specifically engineered plants with traits of interest.

VIBRANT: automated recovery, annotation and curation of microbial viruses, and evaluation of viral community function from genomic sequences

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2020
Viruses are central to microbial community structure in all environments. The ability to generate large metagenomic assemblies of mixed microbial and viral sequences provides the opportunity to tease apart complex microbiome dynamics, but these analyses ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Virseqimprover: an integrated pipeline for viral contig error correction, extension, and annotation [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Despite the recent surge of viral metagenomic studies, it remains a significant challenge to recover complete virus genomes from metagenomic data. The majority of viral contigs generated from de novo assembly programs are highly fragmented, presenting ...

Evolution of foot-and-mouth disease virus intra-sample sequence diversity during serial transmission in bovine hosts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
RNA virus populations within samples are highly heterogeneous, containing a large number of minority sequence variants which can potentially be transmitted to other susceptible hosts. Consequently, consensus genome sequences provide an incomplete picture

BlastKOALA and GhostKOALA: KEGG Tools for Functional Characterization of Genome and Metagenome Sequences.

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Biology, 2016
BlastKOALA and GhostKOALA are automatic annotation servers for genome and metagenome sequences, which perform KO (KEGG Orthology) assignments to characterize individual gene functions and reconstruct KEGG pathways, BRITE hierarchies and KEGG modules to ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Active Ebola Virus Replication and Heterogeneous Evolutionary Rates in EVD Survivors

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Following cessation of continuous Ebola virus (EBOV) transmission within Western Africa, sporadic EBOV disease (EVD) cases continued to re-emerge beyond the viral incubation period.

Chemistry and Bioinformatics Considerations in Using Next-Generation Sequencing Technologies to Inferring HIV Proviral DNA Genome-Intactness

open access: yesViruses, 2021
HIV persists via integration of the viral DNA into the human genome. The HIV DNA pool within an infected individual is a complex population that comprises both intact and defective viral genomes, each with a distinct integration site, in addition to a ...
