Genetic Analysis of the Carboxy-Terminal Region of the Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a liver-tropic pathogen with severe health consequences for infected individuals. Chronic HCV infection can progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and is a leading indicator for liver transplantation.

Genetic and Functional Characterization of the N-Terminal Region of the Hepatitis C Virus NS2 Protein [PDF]
ABSTRACT The hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS2 protein has dual roles within the HCV life cycle. While well characterized as an autoprotease that cleaves the NS2/NS3 junction, NS2, primarily via its N-terminal region, is also involved in virion morphogenesis.

Mitochondrial DNA D‐loop hyper‐variable region 1 variability in Kurdish horse breed
Background Kurdish horse is one of the most valuable horse genetic resources in the Middle East. Objectives To assess the genetic diversity of Kurdish horses, Mitochondrial DNA D‐loop hyper‐variable region1 (HVR1) was sequenced in 29 non‐related Kurdish ...

Genetic Diversity in the 3′ Terminal 4.7-kb Region of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 [PDF]
Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 3 (GLRaV-3; Ampelovirus, Closteroviridae), associated with grapevine leafroll disease, is an important pathogen found across all major grape-growing regions of the world. The genetic diversity of GLRaV-3 in Napa Valley, CA, was studied by sequencing 4.7 kb in the 3′ terminal region of 50 isolates obtained from Vitis

Genetic studies of terminal regions of vaccine and field isolates of capripoxviruses
Sheeppox and goatpox are two of the most important diseases associated with significant economic loss and impact on animal trade. In spite of the use of vaccines, outbreaks are being reported on several occasions. Therefore, deciphering the host specificity and virulence of sheeppox virus (SPPV) and goatpox virus (GTPV) is important in developing ...

Unraveling a Region-Specific Hyper-Recombination Phenomenon: Genetic Control and Modalities of Terminal Recombination in Escherichia coli [PDF]
The propensity of the terminus of the Escherichia coli chromosome for recombination has been further explored, using a test based on the selectable loss of a λ prophage inserted between repeated sequences from Tn10. Terminal recombination appears region-specific and unrelated to replication termination in a strain harboring a major chromosomal ...
