We present the near complete virus genome sequences with phylogenetic and network analyses of potential transmission networks of a total of 18 Australian cases of human parechovirus type 3 (HPeV3) infection in infants in the period from 2012-2015. Overall the results support our previous finding that the Australian outbreak strain/lineage is a result of a major recombination event that took place between March 2012 and November 2013 followed by further virus evolution and possibly recombination. While the nonstructural coding region of unknown provenance appears to evolve significantly both at the nucleotide and amino acid level, the capsid encoding region derived from the Yamagata 2011 lineage of HPeV3 appears to be very stable, particularly at the amino acid level. The phylogenetic and network analyses performed support a temporal evolution from the first Australian recombinant virus sequence from November 2013 to March/April 2014, onto the 2015 outbreak. The 2015 outbreak samples fall into two separate clusters with a possible common ancestor between March/April 2014 and September 2015, with each cluster further evolving in the period from September to November/December 2015.

Extensive research into gene fusions in cancer and other diseases has led to the discovery of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Concurrently, various bioinformatics tools have been developed for fusion detection in RNA sequencing data, which, in the age of increasing affordability of sequencing, have delivered a large-scale identification of transcriptomic abnormalities. Historically, the focus of fusion transcript research was predominantly on coding RNAs and their resultant proteins, often overlooking non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs).

Background: Zoonotic schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma japonicum, is prevalent in China, the Philippines and Indonesia. Rapid point-of-care (POC) diagnostics are attractive and promising tools for evaluating the efficacy of intervention strategies for schistosomiasis control.
Methodology: The diagnostic potential of five recombinant antigens was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using sera from individuals with positive Kato-Katz (KK) results for S.

Objectives: To study the population structure and genomic characteristics, including antimicrobial resistance genes, plasmid types and surface polysaccharide type, of the globally distributed Acinetobacter baumannii belonging to ST32 (Institut Pasteur scheme).
Methods: Antibiotic resistance phenotype for 19 antibiotics was determined using Vitek 2. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using the Illumina MiSeq platform.

Secretion of high-value proteins and enzymes is fundamental to the synthetic biology economy, allowing continuous fermentation during production and protein purification without cell lysis. Most eukaryotic protein secretion is encoded by an N-terminal signal peptide (SP); however, the strong impact of SP sequence variation on the secretion efficiency of a given protein is not well defined. Despite high natural SP sequence diversity, most recombinant protein secretion systems use only a few well-characterised SPs.

Generation of recombinant vaccinia viruses opens many avenues for poxvirus research; however current methods for virus production can be laborious. Traditional methods rely on recombination strategies that produce engineered viruses at a low frequency, which then need to be identified and isolated from a large background of parent virus. For this reason, marker and reporter genes are often included, but in many cases these require removal in subsequent steps and the entire process is relatively inefficient.
