Article Abstract
Two mutations in the ninR region of bacteriophage lambda that bypass a requirement for antitermination have been studied. One mutation, byp, has been cloned and mapped by marker rescue to a 417-base-pair segment in the ninR region of the genome. Analysis of the byp mutation by using promoter detection vectors, DNA sequencing, and S1 nuclease analysis showed that the byp mutation created a new promoter that transcribed gene Q. The second mutation analyzed was the deletion nin3. Sequence analysis revealed that 2,485 base pairs of the ninR region were removed, beginning within the ren gene and ending in an open reading frame termed ninG. The tR2 and tR3 terminators, and probably others, were removed by the nin3 deletion, thereby allowing the phage to be N independent and to grow in hosts defective for Nus antitermination factors.

Background: Children from racial and ethnic minority groups are at greater risk for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, but it is unclear whether they have increased risk for post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). Our objectives were to assess whether the risk of respiratory and neurologic PASC differs by race/ethnicity and social drivers of health.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of individuals <21 years seeking care at 24 health systems across the U.

Depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are serious consequences of physical injuries. Stress associated with living in urban neighborhoods with socioecological disadvantages and the cumulative burdens of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can lead to poorer psychological outcomes. Limited research has explored how ACEs and socioecological environmental exposures in childhood and adulthood, together, impact post-injury outcomes.

Disabled people face social and environmental barriers to higher education, yet there is a dearth of clear, publicly available information on university websites related to accessibility and disability inclusion. Our team previously developed disability inclusion scores for the top 50 universities offering undergraduate programs based on funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and found low scores overall. Building on that, this study examines the relationship between disability inclusion (as scores ranging from 0 to 100 points) and six university characteristics for these 50 universities.

Background: The 2022 mpox outbreak in the United States disproportionately affected gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). Uptake of mpox testing may be related to symptomology, sociodemographic characteristics, and behavioral characteristics.
Objective: This study aimed to describe suspected mpox symptoms and testing uptake among a sample of GBMSM recruited via the internet in the United States in August 2022.
