Viral escape mutations do not account for non-protection from SIVmac239 challenge in RhCMV/SIV vaccinated rhesus macaques

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) vaccines based upon 68-1 Rhesus Cytomegalovirus (RhCMV) vectors show remarkable protection against pathogenic SIVmac239 challenge.

Virseqimprover: an integrated pipeline for viral contig error correction, extension, and annotation [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ
Despite the recent surge of viral metagenomic studies, it remains a significant challenge to recover complete virus genomes from metagenomic data. The majority of viral contigs generated from de novo assembly programs are highly fragmented, presenting ...

Functional Constraint Profiling of a Viral Protein Reveals Discordance of Evolutionary Conservation and Functionality. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2015
Viruses often encode proteins with multiple functions due to their compact genomes. Existing approaches to identify functional residues largely rely on sequence conservation analysis.

Error correction and diversity analysis of population mixtures determined by NGS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The impetus for this work was the need to analyse nucleotide diversity in a viral mix taken from honeybees; the methods are illustrated using honeybee viral samples. The paper has two findings. First, a method for correction of next generation sequencing

Sequence analysis of the small (s) RNA segment of viruses in the genus Orthobunyavirus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Viruses in the genus Orthobunyavirus (family Bunyaviridae) are classified serologically into 18 serogroups. The viruses have a tripartite genome of negative sense RNA composed of large (L), medium (M) and small (S) segments.

Applications of viral metagenomics in the veterinary field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Viral metagenomics provide a powerful technology to investigate the viral flora of healthy and sick animals. Using these methodologies, we gain a better understanding in the etiology of diseases, as well as deepen our knowledge into the viruses ...

HIV-1 sequences in lentiviral vector genomes can be substantially reduced without compromising transduction efficiency

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Many lentiviral vectors used for gene therapy are derived from HIV-1. An optimal vector genome would include only the viral sequences required for transduction efficiency and gene expression to minimize the amount of foreign sequence inserted into a ...

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing and proteomics analysis in pediatric viral encephalitis and meningitis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionEarly and accurate identification of pathogens is essential for improved outcomes in patients with viral encephalitis (VE) and/or viral meningitis (VM).MethodsIn our research, Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) which can identify viral pathogens unbiasedly was performed on RNA and DNA to identify potential pathogens in ...

Tomato marchitez virus, a new plant picorna-like virus from tomato related to tomato torrado virus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A new virus was isolated from a tomato plant from the state of Sinaloa in Mexico. This plant showed symptoms locally known as `marchitez disease¿: severe leaf necrosis, beginning at the base of the leaflets, and necrotic rings on the fruits.

The nucleotide sequence and genome organization of Plasmopara halstedii virus

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2011
Background Only very few viruses of Oomycetes have been studied in detail. Isometric virions were found in different isolates of the oomycete Plasmopara halstedii, the downy mildew pathogen of sunflower. However, complete nucleotide sequences and data on
