Improving the identification of antigenic sites in the H1N1 Influenza virus through accounting for the experimental structure in a sparse hierarchical Bayesian model [PDF]
J. R. Stat. Soc. C (2019), 2017 Understanding how genetic changes allow emerging virus strains to escape the protection afforded by vaccination is vital for the maintenance of effective vaccines. In the current work, we use structural and phylogenetic differences between pairs of virus strains to identify important antigenic sites on the surface of the influenza A(H1N1) virus through

The HETDEX Instrumentation: Hobby-Eberly Telescope Wide Field Upgrade and VIRUS [PDF]
AJ 162 298 (2021), 2021 The Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) is undertaking a blind wide-field low-resolution spectroscopic survey of 540 square degrees of sky to identify and derive redshifts for a million Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) in the redshift range 1.9 < z < 3.5. The ultimate goal is to measure the expansion rate of the Universe at

Synthesis and Integration of Avian Sarcoma Virus DNA [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology, 1980 In this paper, we have presented data regarding the integration of viral DNA and the persistence of unintegrated viral DNA. We know that integration occurs with specificity with respect to the viral genome, and yet it remains to be established which, if any, of the unintegrated DS DNA species-either the linear or the covalently closed circular forms-is

Exploring the SARS-CoV-2 virus-host-drug interactome for drug repurposing [PDF]
Nat Commun 11, 3518 (2020), 2020 Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It was first identified in Wuhan, China, and has since spread causing a global pandemic. Various studies have been performed to understand the molecular mechanisms of viral infection for predicting drug repurposing candidates.

Distribution and conservation of Banana Streak Virus (BSV) within banana Musa balbisiana genome: what impact on host and virus evolution ? [PDF]
, 2011 The nuclear genome of several plants isinvaded by numerous viral sequences. These integrations correspond to accidental events mainly resulting from illegitimate recombination of DNA viruses belonging to the family Caulimoviridae with plant DNA whereas ...

Integration and Lysogeny by an Enveloped Mycoplasma Virus
Journal of General Virology, 1983 The 11.8 kilobase pair (7.8 X 10(6) mol. wt.) genome of mycoplasma virus L2 in lysogenic Acholeplasma laidlawii cells was examined. For this study, DNAs were analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis and viral DNA sequences identified by DNA-DNA hybridization.

HBV DNA Integration: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Implications
Viruses, 2017 Chronic infection with the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is a major cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality. One peculiar observation in cells infected with HBV (or with closely‑related animal hepadnaviruses) is the presence of viral DNA integration in ...
