ABSTRACT Lenacapavir (LEN) is a first‐in‐class capsid inhibitor (CAI) that targets multiple stages of the HIV‐1 lifecycle, showing efficacy in heavily treatment‐experienced (HTE) individuals with multidrug‐resistance (MDR) and in pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This study aimed to characterize a novel in‐house next‐generation sequencing (NGS) protocol

Risk factors associated with viral nervous necrosis in hybrid groupers in Malaysia and the high similarity of its causative agent nervous necrosis virus to reassortant red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus/striped jack nervous necrosis virus strains [PDF]
Background and Aim: Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) is a serious disease of several marine fish species. VNN causes 100% mortality in the larval stages, while lower losses have been reported in juvenile and adult fish.

The intermediate evolution phase in case of truncated selection
Using methods of statistical physics, we present rigorous theoretical calculations of Eigen's quasispecies theory with the truncated fitness landscape which dramatically limits the available sequence space of a reproducing quasispecies.

Drug-related mutational patterns in hepatitis B virus (HBV) reverse transcriptase proteins from Iranian treatment-Naïve chronic HBV patients [PDF]
Background: Immunomodulators and Nucleotide analogues have been used globally for the dealing of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. However, the development of drug resistance is a major limitation to their long-term effectiveness.

Challenges in Diagnosing and Managing Hepatitis E in Transplant Recipients: A Case Report
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a common but often underdiagnosed cause of hepatitis in both the general population and transplant patients. Diagnosis is usually made by detecting IgM anti‐HEV antibodies, with immunosuppressed individuals being at higher risk for chronic infection.

The Importance of DNA Repair in Tumor Suppression
The transition from a normal to cancerous cell requires a number of highly specific mutations that affect cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, differentiation, and many other cell functions.

Stem-Like Adaptive Aneuploidy and Cancer Quasispecies [PDF]
We analyze and reinterpret experimental evidence from the literature to argue for an ability of tumor cells to self-regulate their aneuploidy rate. We conjecture that this ability is mediated by a diversification factor that exploits molecular mechanisms

Quasispecies Theory in Virology [PDF]
Holmes and Moya claim that quasispecies is an unnecessary and misleading description of RNA virus evolution, that virologists refer to quasispecies inappropriately, and that there is little evidence of quasispecies in RNA virus evolution. They wish to look for other ideas in evolutionary biology and to set down an agenda for future research.

Fidelity Variants and RNA Quasispecies [PDF]
By now, it is well established that the error rate of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) that replicates RNA virus genomes is a primary driver of the mutation frequencies observed in RNA virus populations-the basis for the RNA quasispecies.

Abstract The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of relevant knowledge and safety concerns of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.
