Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a key pathogen causing upper respiratory diseases and oral ulcers in cats, with significant genetic variability. This study aimed to isolate the FCV-BJ616 strain, investigate its pathogenic mechanisms, and provide insights for developing antibody therapies and broad-spect...
Vero cells were infected with the different Zika virus (ZIKV) mutants (American WT, African-like, uORF1-KO and uORF2-PTC1) generated by reverse genetics at MOI:3 to assess their viral transcriptome. Samples were harvested at 24 hours post-infection (h p.i.) by flash-freezing, without cycloheximide p...

Calicivirus reverse genetics systems have typically relied on either in vitro transcribed RNA or plasmid-based rescue with enzyme supplementation. Plasmid based calicivirus rescue relies on supplementation with Fowl Pox T7 RNA polymerase which has cost and labour considerations. Here we present a no...
Targeted genomic enrichment followed by next-generation sequencing dramatically increased the efficiency of mutation discovery in human genomes. Here we demonstrate that these techniques also revolutionize traditional genetic approaches in model systems. We developed a two-step protocol utilizing a ...
Investigation by reverse genetics of host response antagonism and reassortment potential for Cache Valley and Kairi viruses, two emerging orthobunyaviruses of the Americas
Bioactivities of fungal peptides are of interest for basic research and therapeutic drug development. Some of these peptides are derived from “KEX2-processed repeat proteins” (KEPs), a recently defined class of precursor proteins that contain multiple peptide cores flanked by KEX2 protease cleavage ...
