SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) by the numbers
The COVID-19 pandemic is a harsh reminder of the fact that, whether in a single human host or a wave of infection across continents, viral dynamics is often a story about the numbers.

Varicella Vaccine: a Molecular Variant That May Contribute to Attenuation
Varicella was troublesome when varicella vaccine (vOka) was licensed in the United States. Varicella’s yearly death toll was ~100, indirect costs were massive, and varicella threatened immunocompromised children.

The presentation of SARS-CoV-2 peptides by the common HLA-A∗02:01 molecule
Summary: CD8+ T cells are crucial for anti-viral immunity; however, understanding T cell responses requires the identification of epitopes presented by human leukocyte antigens (HLA).

Metagenomics, i.e., the sequencing and analysis of genomic information extracted directly from clinical or environmental samples, has become a fundamental tool to explore the viral world. Against the background of an extensive viral diversity revealed by metagenomics across many environments, new sequence assembly approaches that reconstruct complete ...
