Abstract

The epidemiology of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) group A was followed by nucleotide sequencing of the variable parts of the glycoprotein (G) gene. The amino acid sequences of an aminoterminal (A-terminal, amino acids 90-132) and carboxyterminal (C-terminal, amino acids 262-298) portion of the G protein in 47 virus strains, collected in Stockholm, between 1965 and 2004, were determined. In phylogenetic analysis jointly with previously described genotypes (GA1 to GA7 and SAA1), 33 virus strains (isolated between 1991 and 2004) belonged to genotype GA5, seven to GA2, three to genotype GA1 (isolated before 1991), one to genotype GA4 (isolated in 1982) and three to genotype GA7 (isolated in 1993 and 2001). Genotype GA5 was predominant in four epidemics, between 2000/2001 and 2003/2004. Little or no variation with time of the C-terminal amino acid sequence of the G protein was found when the virus strains were compared within their own genotype. Identical and nearly identical nucleotide sequences were found between strains isolated more than 10 (GA5) and 25 (GA2) years apart. The A-terminal part of they G protein of genotype GA2 was highly conserved. In contrast, the A-terminal part of the G protein of genotype GA5 exhibited a p...Continue Reading

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.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

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.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
