2.4 Mb Genome Size for World's Biggest Virus

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 08 Aug 2013 10:05:37 -0500

The genome size of new discovered Pandoraviruses have roughly twice the size of the record-holding Megavirus genomic code. Interestingly only 6 percent of its genes resembled the genes other organisms. It is assume that it may come from a different origin.

QuasiModo - Quasispecies Metric Determination on Omics

Neel — Sat, 26 Jun 2021 15:22:56 -0500

This repository contains the scripts and pipeline that reproduces the results of the HCMV benchmarking study. In this study we evaluated genome assemblers and variant callers on 10 in vitro generated, mixed strain HCMV sequence samples, each consisting of two lab strains in different abundance ratios. This tool can also be used to evaluate assemblies and variant calling results on other similar datasets.

Mosquito species known for transmitting the Dengue virus

BioStar — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:05:51 -0500

Here is a list of mosquito species known for transmitting the Dengue virus along with essential and applied information about each species:

1. Aedes aegypti:
- Geographical Distribution: Found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide.
- Biting Behavior: Daytime biter, prefers feeding indoors, often around human dwellings.
- Role in Dengue Transmission: Primary vector responsible for transmitting Dengue virus to humans.

2. Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito):
- Geographical Distribution: Found in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions worldwide.
- Biting Behavior: Daytime biter, feeds both indoors and outdoors, aggressive feeder.
- Role in Dengue Transmission: Secondary vector, can transmit Dengue virus to humans.

3. Aedes polynesiensis:
- Geographical Distribution: Found in Pacific Islands and coastal regions.
- Biting Behavior: Daytime biter, prefers feeding outdoors, often near coastal areas.
- Role in Dengue Transmission: Vector of Dengue virus in specific geographic regions.

4. Aedes scutellaris:
- Geographical Distribution: Found in Southeast Asia, Pacific Islands, and coastal regions.
- Biting Behavior: Daytime feeder, active in shaded areas, prefers outdoor environments.
- Role in Dengue Transmission: Vector of Dengue virus, particularly in coastal areas.

5. Aedes africanus:
- Geographical Distribution: Found in parts of Africa, including forested areas.
- Biting Behavior: Daytime feeder, prefers shaded areas, bites humans and other animals.
- Role in Dengue Transmission: Vector of Dengue virus in African regions.

Understanding the geographical distribution and biting behavior of these mosquito species is crucial for implementing effective control and prevention strategies to reduce Dengue virus transmission.

Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2

Used Nanographics Vj, our real-time molecular visualization and animation software, to create this video showing the structure of the virus. In the video, you can see the latest theory on how the RNA is organized inside of the virus particle.

On this page, you can download high resolution images of our renderings. We made them with transparent background, so that you can use it in your work. As the research progresses, we will keep updating the model as well as the images on this page, so stay tuned!

fastv - detect virus

Jit — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 08:04:10 -0600

fastv is an ultra-fast tool for identification of SARS-CoV-2 and other microbes from sequencing data. It detects microbial sequences from FASTQ data, generates JSON reports and visualizes the result in HTML reports. This tool can be used to detect viral infectious diseases, like COVID-19. This tool supports both short reads (Illumina, BGI, etc.) and long reads (ONT, PacBio, etc.)
