Genomic variants and molecular epidemiological characteristics of dengue virus in China revealed by genome-wide analysis
Bangyao Sun and others
Since its first academic record in 1978, dengue epidemics have occurred in all provinces of China, except Xizang. The epidemiological and molecular features of the whole genome of dengue virus (DENV) have not yet been completely elucidated, interfering with prevention and control strategies for dengue fever in China. Here, ...
Research Article
Genome data artifacts and functional studies of deletion repair in the BA.1 SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
Miguel Álvarez-Herrera and others
Mutations within the N-terminal domain (NTD) of the spike (S) protein are critical for the emergence of successful severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral lineages. The NTD has been repeatedly impacted by deletions, often exhibiting complex and dynamic patterns, such as the recurrent emergence ...

FluMut: a tool for mutation surveillance in highly pathogenic H5N1 genomes
Edoardo Giussani and others
Over the past century, Influenza A virus (IAV) has caused four of the five reported pandemics, all of which originated from viruses possessing genome segments of avian origin. The recent spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses, particularly the clade 2.3.4.4b A(H5N1) subtype, has led to an alarming ...
Research Article
Evolutionary dynamics and molecular epidemiology of H1N1 pandemic 2009 influenza A viruses across swine farms in Denmark
Sophie George and others
Transmission of influenza A viruses (IAVs) between pigs and humans can trigger pandemics but more often cease as isolated infections without further spread in the new host species population. In Denmark, a major pig-producing country, the first two detections of human infections with swine-like IAVs were reported in 2021. ...
Research Article
Sequence analysis of the hepatitis D virus across genotypes reveals highly conserved regions amidst evidence of recombination
Shruti Chowdhury and others
Sequence diversity of the hepatitis D virus (HDV) may impact viral clearance, contributing to the development of chronic infection. T-Cell-induced selection pressure and viral recombination can induce diversity throughout the viral genome including coding and noncoding regions, with the former potentially impacting viral ...
Research Article
Multiple, diverse endogenous giant virus elements within the genome of a brown alga
Dean Mckeown and others
Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) have been found in diverse eukaryotic genomes. These elements are particularly frequent in the genomes of brown algae (Phaeophyceae) because these seaweeds are infected by viruses ( Phaeovirus ) of the phylum Nucleocytoviricota (NCV) that are capable of inserting into their host’s genome as ...
