Association between the Human Cytomegalovirus genome and severity of disease.

Does SARS‐CoV‐2 has a longer incubation period than SARS and MERS?

It is unclear whether there are statistically significant differences in incubation times amongst SARS‐CoV‐2, SARS‐CoV and MERS‐CoV. However, this is because 1) Limited available data challenges investigation of the current coronavirus outbreak. 2) Lack of annotation also makes it difficult to identify and consolidate the datasets. Thus, care should be taken when selecting datasets for comparative analysis with other viruses or outbreaks.

3D cell culture models and organ‐on‐a‐chip: Meet separation science and mass spectrometry

In vitro derived simplified 3D representations of human organs or organ functionalities are predicted to play a major role in disease modeling, drug development, and personalized medicine, as they complement traditional cell line approaches and …

Systematic assessment of commercially available low-input miRNA library preparation kits

High-throughput sequencing is increasingly favoured to assay the presence and abundance of microRNAs (miRNAs) in biological samples, even from low RNA amounts, and a number of commercial vendors now offer kits that allow miRNA sequencing from …

miRBaseMiner, a tool for investigating miRBase content

The reemergence of human rabies and emergence of an Indian subcontinent lineage in Tibet, China

Coordinated surveillance, vaccination and public information efforts have brought the Chinese rabies epizootic under control, but significant numbers of fatalities are still reported annually with some cases occurring in previously rabies free …

Does SARS‐CoV‐2 has a longer incubation period than SARS and MERS?

Malassezia is the dominant fungus in the human skin mycobiome and is associated with common skin disorders including atopic eczema (AE)/dermatitis. Recently, it was found that Malassezia sympodialis secretes nanosized exosome-like vesicles, …

Identification and BAC construction of Han, the first characterized HCMV clinical strain in China

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the leading infectious cause of birth defects, and may lead to severe or lethal diseases in immunocompromised individuals. Several HCMV strains have been identified and widely applied in research, but no isolate from …
