Molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium isolates obtained from human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals living in Switzerland, Kenya, and the United States. [PDF]
, 2000 A total of 22 Cryptosporidium isolates from human immunodeficiency virus-infected patients from Kenya, Switzerland, and the United States were examined at three genetic loci: the 18S ribosomal DNA, HSP-70, and acetyl coenzyme A synthetase genes.

Bridging scales in cancer progression: Mapping genotype to phenotype using neural networks [PDF]
, 2014 In this review we summarize our recent efforts in trying to understand the role of heterogeneity in cancer progression by using neural networks to characterise different aspects of the mapping from a cancer cells genotype and environment to its phenotype.

GENOTYPE BY ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS FOR FITNESS IN HYBRID GENOTYPES OFAVENA BARBATA [PDF]
Evolution, 2008 We examined genotype (G) by environment (E) interactions for fitness in mesic and xeric ecotypes of the self-fertilizing annual grass, Avena barbata and their recombinant inbred hybrid progeny. Fitness was assayed (1) in experimental water and nutrient treatments in the greenhouse and (2) in common gardens in each ecotype's native habitat.

Hepatitis C virus NS5A targets the nucleosome assembly protein NAP1L1 to control the innate cellular response [PDF]
, 2017 Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA hepatotropic virus. Despite cellular defenses, HCV is able to replicate in hepatocytes and to establish a chronic infection that could lead to severe complications and hepatocellular ...

Emergence of Genotype I of Japanese Encephalitis Virus as the Dominant Genotype in Asia [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2011 ABSTRACTJapanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne zoonotic pathogen, is one of the major causes of viral encephalitis worldwide. Previous phylogenetic studies based on the envelope protein indicated that there are four genotypes, and surveillance data suggest that genotype I is gradually replacing genotype III as the dominant strain.

Japanese Encephalitis Virus Genotype Replacement, Taiwan, 2009–2010
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011 Genotype I of Japanese encephalitis virus first appeared in Taiwan in 2008. Phylogenetic analysis of 37 viruses from pig farms in 2009–2010 classified these viruses into 2 unique subclusters of genotype I viruses and suggested multiple introductions and ...

Quasispecies evolution in general mean-field landscapes [PDF]
, 2001 I consider a class of fitness landscapes, in which the fitness is a function of a finite number of phenotypic "traits", which are themselves linear functions of the genotype.
