The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of human arboviral diseases caused by dengue, chikungunya and Zika viruses.Many studies have shown the potential roles of small RNA molecules such as microRNA, small interfering RNA and PIWI-interacting RNA in vector mosquitoes.The function of tRNA fragments (tRF), the newly discovered class of small
Consensus statement from the first RdRp Summit: advancing RNA virus discovery at scale across communities
Improved RNA virus understanding is critical to CHEWABLE PAPAYA ENZYMES studying animal and plant health, and environmental processes.However, the continuous and rapid RNA virus evolution makes their identification and characterization challenging.While recent sequence-based advances have led to extensive RNA virus discovery, there is growing varia
Evaluation of Precipitates Type in Brasses as a Function of Charge Material
Trial series of cast alloy MO59 obtained from qualified scrap was investigated.SEM and TEM of resulting precipitates were conducted.The SEM analysis demonstrated the dependence of silicon, phosphorus, iron, chromium and nickel in the composition of the so-called hard precipitates.TEM analysis showed the formation of phase AlFeSi and AlCr.Made studi
Molecular Characterization of Rifampicin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolates from Retail Foods in China
This study investigated the molecular characteristics of rifampin-resistant (RIF-R) Staphylococcus aureus isolates recovered from 4300 retail food samples covering most provincial capitals in China, from 2011 to 2016.Of the 1463 S.aureus enrolled, 149 isolates (142 MSSA and 7 MRSA) were identified as rifampicin-resistant, including 20 high-level (M
Genomic variant annotation workflow for clinical applications [version 2; referees: 2 approved]
Annotation and interpretation of DNA aberrations identified through next-generation sequencing is becoming an increasingly important task.Even more so in the context of data analysis pipelines for medical applications, where genomic aberrations are associated with phenotypic and clinical features.Here we describe a workflow to identify potential ge
