Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Elicits Early Transcriptome Response in Cells.

Viruses that are transmitted by arthropods, or arboviruses, have evolved to successfully navigate both the invertebrate and vertebrate hosts, including their immune systems. Biting midges transmit several arboviruses including vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). To study the interaction between VSV and midges, we characterized the transcriptomic responses of VSV-infected and mock-infected cells at 1, 8, 24, and 96 h post inoculation (HPI).

Evaluation of potential reference genes in the biting midge Culicoides sonorensis for real-time quantitative PCR analyses.

Studies examining differentially expressed genes and gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi) require a set of stably expressed reference genes for accurate normalization. The biting midge Culicoides sonorensis is an important vector of livestock pathogens and is often used as a model species for biting midge research. Here, we examine the stable expression of six candidate reference genes in C.

Near-Complete Genome Sequences of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Isolates from the 2020 Outbreak in Kansas.

Here, we report the near-complete genome sequences of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) serotype Indiana isolates from the 2020 U.S. outbreak.

Candidatus Krumholzibacterium zodletonense gen. nov., sp nov, the first representative of the candidate phylum Krumholzibacteriota phyl. nov. recovered from an anoxic sulfidic spring using genome resolved metagenomics.

The accumulation of genomes of uncultured organisms has highlighted the need for devising a taxonomic and nomenclature scheme to validate names and prevent redundancies. We here report on the recovery and analysis of four phylogenetically related genomes recovered from an anoxic sulfide and sulfur-rich spring (Zodletone spring) in southwestern Oklahoma. Phylogenetic analysis based on 120 single copy markers attested to their position as a novel distinct bacterial phylum.
