Host Range, Biology, and Species Specificity of Seven-Segmented Influenza Viruses—A Comparative Review on Influenza C and D [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 Other than genome structure, influenza C (ICV), and D (IDV) viruses with seven-segmented genomes are biologically different from the eight-segmented influenza A (IAV), and B (IBV) viruses concerning the presence of hemagglutinin–esterase fusion protein ...

Species-specificity of the secondary biosynthetic potential in Bacillus [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 IntroductionAlthough Bacillus species have produced a wide variety of structurally diverse and biologically active natural products, the secondary biosynthetic potential of Bacillus species is widely underestimated due to the limited number of ...

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens 113-2 and Comparative Genomic Analysis Provide Molecular Insights Into Species Specificity and Host Specificity [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 In the present study, we sequenced the complete genome of Bradyrhizobium diazoefficiens 113-2. The genomic characteristics of six selected rhizobial strains (two fast-growing rhizobia, two medium-slow-growing rhizobia and two slow-growing rhizobia) with ...

STAT2 Limits Host Species Specificity of Human Metapneumovirus [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 The host tropism of viral infection is determined by a variety of factors, from cell surface receptors to innate immune signaling. Many viruses encode proteins that interfere with host innate immune recognition in order to promote infection.

Species specificity and specificity diversity (SSD) framework: a novel method for detecting the unique and enriched species associated with disease by leveraging the microbiome heterogeneity [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Differentiating the microbiome changes associated with diseases is challenging but critically important. Majority of existing efforts have been focused on a community level, but the discerning power of community or holistic metrics such as ...

The Gene Expression Profile of the Song Control Nucleus HVC Shows Sex Specificity, Hormone Responsiveness, and Species Specificity Among Songbirds [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Singing occurs in songbirds of both sexes, but some species show typical degrees of sex-specific performance. We studied the transcriptional sex differences in the HVC, a brain nucleus critical for song pattern generation, of the forest weaver (Ploceus ...

Human Growth and Growth Hormone: From Antiquity to the Recominant Age to the Future
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021 Since antiquity Man has been fascinated by the variations in human (and animal) growth. Stories and art abound about giants and little people. Modern genetics have solved some of etiologies at both extremes of growth.

Analysis of Porcine RIG-I Like Receptors Revealed the Positive Regulation of RIG-I and MDA5 by LGP2
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 The RLRs play critical roles in sensing and fighting viral infections especially RNA virus infections. Despite the extensive studies on RLRs in humans and mice, there is a lack of systemic investigation of livestock animal RLRs.

The Incompetence of Mosquitoes—Can Zika Virus Be Adapted To Infect Culex tarsalis Cells?
mSphere, 2023 The molecular evolutionary mechanisms underpinning virus-host interactions are increasingly recognized as key drivers of virus emergence, host specificity, and the likelihood that viruses can undergo a host shift that alters epidemiology and transmission
