Pneumoviruses: Molecular Genetics and Reverse Genetics
Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
متن کاملMolecular Genetics and Epidemiology of Vitiligo
Background: Vitiligo is an acquired, idiopathic, and common depigmentation disorder of the skin that affects people of all ages and both sexes equally in the worldwide. Although etiology of the disease is unknown, there are theories such as environment and genetic factors. Methods: In this article, we collected and summarized the appropriate manuscripts regarding the epidemiology and gene...
متن کاملPrions: pathogenesis and reverse genetics.
Spongiform encephalopathies are a group of infectious neurodegenerative diseases. The infectious agent that causes transmissible spongiform encephalopathies was termed prion by Stanley Prusiner. The prion hypothesis states that the partially protease-resistant and detergent-insoluble prion protein (PrPsc) is identical with the infectious agent, and lacks any detectable nucleic acids. Since the ...
متن کاملMolecular Biophysics
This book is a collection of review papers presented at a meeting held at Squaw Valley, California in the summer of 1964. Most of them are concerned with methods of chemical physics as applied to biological problems. The exception is an excellent article on molecular genetics by F. Gros, entitled "The Cell Machinery." It does not include, however, the recent work on the genetic code by Khorana....
متن کاملMolecular biology of prions.
The "protein only" hypothesis holds that the infectious agent causing transmissible spongiform encephalopathies is a conformational isomer of PrP, a host protein predominantly expressed in brain and is strongly supported by many lines of evidence. Prion diseases are so far unique among conformational diseases in that they are transmissible, not only experimentally but also by natural routes, ma...
