Flaviviruses are enveloped viruses which include human pathogens that are predominantly transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks.Some, such as dengue virus, exhibit the phenomenon of antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) of disease, making vaccine-based routes of fighting infections problematic.The pH-dependent conformational change of the envelope (E) p
Abstract Background This paper describes a method, called AlphaSeqOpt, for the allocation of sequencing resources in livestock populations with existing phased genomic data to maximise the ability to phase and impute sequenced haplotypes into the whole population.Methods We present two algorithms.The first selects focal individuals that collectivel
Dry adhesion is governed by physical rather than chemical interactions.Those may include Hose Sink Hook van der Waals and electrostatic forces, friction, and suction.Soft dry adhesives, which can be repeatedly attached to and detached from surfaces, can be useful for many exciting applications including reversible tapes, robotic footpads and grippe
Clubroot and herbicide resistance, high oleic acid (OA) content, and early maturity are targets of Transformer rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) breeding.The objective of this study was to develop new male-fertility restorer lines by pyramiding favorable genes to improve these traits simultaneously.Seven elite alleles for the four traits were introduced
AbstractThis article analyses the different guidelines that have allowed a school to transform its educational project and pedagogical organization in order to adapt to the needs and requirements of a society in constant evolution.To this end, document analysis, participant observation and four focus groups have been carried out with various social
