Circadian rhythms regulate cell proliferation and differentiation; however, little is known
about their roles in myogenic differentiation. Our synchronized differentiation studies …

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), a mosquito-borne alphavirus of the family Togaviridae, has
recently emerged in the Americas from lineages from two continents: Asia and Africa. Historically…

In exploring the epidemiology of infectious diseases, networks have been used to reconstruct
contacts among individuals and/or populations. Summarizing networks using pathogen …

Fkbp5 is a widely expressed peptidyl prolyl isomerase that serves as a molecular chaperone
through conformational changes of binding partners. Although it regulates diverse protein …

Viruses closely related to human pathogens can reveal the origins of human infectious
diseases. Human herpes simplexvirus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) are hypothesized to …

A disproportionate number of Greenland's Inuit population are chronically infected with

Objectives Due to limited hepatitis C virus (HCV) sequence availability from patients in Russia,
the relationship between subtypes and baseline resistance-associated substitutions (RAS…

Recombination is an important driver of genetic diversity, though it is relatively uncommon in
hepatitis C virus (HCV). Recent investigation of sequence data acquired from HCV clinical …

Faithful duplication of a cell’s epigenetic state during DNA replication is essential for the
maintenance of a cell’s lineage. One of the key mechanisms is the recruitment of several critical …
