Absent words and the (dis)similarity analysis of DNA sequences: an experimental study
2016
BMC Research Notes
An absent word with respect to a sequence is a word that does not occur in the sequence as a factor; an absent word is minimal if all its factors on the other hand occur in that sequence. ...
The motivation and rationale of our work comes from the potential advantage of being able to extract as little information as possible from large genomic sequences to reach the goal of comparing sequences ...

A flexible format LAMP assay for rapid detection of Ebola virus
2020
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases
The assays are rapid, (as fast as 5-7.25 mins for real-time formats) and robust, detecting Ebola virus RNA in presence of minimally diluted bodily fluids. ...
Ebola virus is highly infectious and prompt diagnosis and triage is crucial in preventing further spread within community and healthcare settings. ...

Ebola Virus Defective Interfering Particles and Persistent Infection
1999
Virology
Minimal promoters for Ebola virus replication were found to be contained within 156 and 177 nucleotide regions of the genomic and antigenomic RNA 3Ј termini, respectively, based on the length of authentic ...
It was found that serial undiluted virus passages quickly resulted in production of an evolving population of virus minireplicons possessing both deletion and copyback type DI genome rearrangements. ...
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We are grateful to Tony Sanchez for communicating sequence data that was unpublished at the time of initiation of this project and for providing some of the plasmids used for production ...

Annual Review of Virology
In this review we discuss the most commonly employed methods for virus receptor discovery, specifically highlighting the use of forward genetic screens in human haploid cells. ...
As an example, haploid genetic screens identified the lysosomal proteins, NPC1 and LAMP1, as intracellular receptors for Ebola virus and Lassa virus, respectively. ...
