A New Quartet Tree Heuristic for Hierarchical Clustering [PDF]

, 2006
We consider the problem of constructing an an optimal-weight tree from the 3*(n choose 4) weighted quartet topologies on n objects, where optimality means that the summed weight of the embedded quartet topologiesis optimal (so it can be the case that the

Stability-mediated epistasis constrains the evolution of an influenza protein. [PDF]

, 2013
John Maynard Smith compared protein evolution to the game where one word is converted into another a single letter at a time, with the constraint that all intermediates are words: WORD→WORE→GORE→GONE→GENE. In this analogy, epistasis constrains evolution,

MERS-CoV in Arabian camels in Africa and Central Asia [PDF]

, 2017
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) causing infections in humans is genetically indistinguishable from the virus found in Arabian camels (dromedaries) in the Middle East. Although no primary human case of MERS was reported outside the

Overview of Serological Techniques for Influenza Vaccine Evaluation: Past, Present and Future [PDF]

, 2014
Serological techniques commonly used to quantify influenza-specific antibodies include the Haemagglutination Inhibition (HI), Single Radial Haemolysis (SRH) and Virus Neutralization (VN) assays.

Membralin Assembles a MAN1B1–VCP Complex to Target Foreign Glycoproteins from the Endoplasmic Reticulum to Lysosomes for Degradation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies Membralin as an ER‐phagy receptor that recruits MAN1B1 and VCP to form a selective ERLAD complex. By sensing dense N‐glycan clusters on viral fusion glycoproteins, this ubiquitin‐independent pathway directs SARS‐CoV‐2 spike, Ebola GP, influenza HA, and HIV‐1 Env to lysosomal degradation, thereby limiting viral infectivity ...

Influenza research database: an integrated bioinformatics resource for influenza research and surveillance. [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundThe recent emergence of the 2009 pandemic influenza A/H1N1 virus has highlighted the value of free and open access to influenza virus genome sequence data integrated with information about other important virus characteristics.DesignThe ...

Chicken Pulmonary MicroRNAs Targeting the PB2 (Segment 1) of Avian Influenza Virus

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The PB2 segment of H5N1 is essential for replication and host adaptation. We screened 200 miRNAs and identified five (gga‐miR‐17‐3p, gga‐miR‐29a‐5p, gga‐miR‐1718, gga‐miR‐16c‐5p, and gga‐miR‐1744‐5p) using thermodynamic stability of heteroduplex, seed sequence complementarity, conservation, and accessibility, offering insights into host antiviral ...

Effect of medicinal and food homologous plants polysaccharides on animal nutrition and health: A review

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract As one of the most important components of foods, animal meat provides a lot of protein, fat, and energy for humans. However, nutrition and health of animals directly affect the healthiness of human, especially antibiotic residues in animals induced by abuse of antibiotics.

Long-lasting cross-protection against influenza A by neuraminidase and M2e-based immunization strategies [PDF]

, 2016
There is mounting evidence that in the absence of neutralizing antibodies cross-reactive T cells provide protection against pandemic influenza viruses. Here, we compared protection and CD8+ T cell responses following challenge with H1N1 2009 pandemic and

Selective Wettability–Driven Evaporation‐Enhanced Redox Cycling for Robust and Ultrasensitive Detection of Viral Particles

Small Methods, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Timely detection of viral infections, particularly in settings outside centralized laboratories, is essential for controlling outbreaks. Small electrochemical biosensors are appealing because they are fast, require microliter sample volumes, and can be integrated into portable devices.
