Long before anybody understood anything about vaccination, it was noticed that, if people recovered from a disease, they didn’t get that particular disease again.See it on Scoop.it, via Viruses and Bioinformatics from Virology.uvic.ca The...
Abstract In the last decade, life-science research has become increasingly data-intensive and computational. Nevertheless, basic bioinformatics and data stewardship are still only rarely taught in life-science degree programmes, creating a widening skills gap that...
Programs that promote themselves as helping students paraphrase may be helping them plagiarize, researcher warns.See it on Scoop.it, via Viruses and Bioinformatics from Virology.uvic.ca Some academics worry that new tools enable plagiarism to bypass...
Orthology characterizes genes of different organisms that arose from a single ancestral gene via speciation, in contrast to paralogy, which is assigned to genes that arose via gene duplication. An accurate orthology assignment is...
Detection of viruses by flow cytometry is complicated by their small size. Here, we characterized the ability of a standard (FACSAria II) and a sub-micron flow cytometer (A50 Micro) to resolve HIV-1 viruses. The...
Natural populations often have to cope with genetically distinct parasites that can coexist, or not, within the same hosts. Theoretical models addressing the evolution of virulence have considered two within host infection outcomes, namely...
Southern Europe is characterized by unique landscape and climate which attract tourists, but also arthropod vectors, some of them carrying pathogens. Among several arboviral diseases that emerged in the region during the last decade,...
