Translating genomic exploration of the family Polyomaviridae into confident human polyomavirus detection [PDF]
IScience, 2022 Summary: The Polyomaviridae is a family of ubiquitous dsDNA viruses that establish persistent infection early in life. Screening for human polyomaviruses (HPyVs), which comprise 14 diverse species, relies upon species-specific qPCRs whose validity may be

The Transmissibility of the Human Skin Virome: Potential Forensic Implications. [PDF]
MicrobiologyopenTo robustly establish the forensic potential of the human skin virome, continuous research and investigation across diverse ethnic groups are necessary. This study evaluated the stability and transmissibility of the skin virome in Koreans. Our results show that the skin virome is stable over time and can be shared through contact with objects ...
