Cloning and molecular characterization of the myxoma virus genome
Abstract
Restriction enzyme cleavage maps of the genomes of the Uriarra (Ur), Glenfield (GV), and Lausanne (Lu) strains of myxoma virus were deduced for the enzymes EcoRI, KpnI, BamHI, SalI, HindIII, BglI, PstI, and PvuII. Restriction maps for the three strains were indistinguishable with the exception of an additional KpnI site in the Lu genome at map position 38.8. Genomic DNA fragments were cloned into the plasmid vector pGEM-3 and the viral genome was determined to be 163.6 (+/- 0.2) kb in length. Covalently closed terminal fragments were identified by electrophoresis of "snapback" fragments and the 5.3 kb BglI end fragment was cloned after S1 nuclease digestion of the hairpin structure.

COVID-19
Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

STING Receptor Agonists
Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
