Human astroviruses (HAtVs) are positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses that were
discovered in 1975. Astroviruses infecting other species, particularly mammalian and avian …

This review focuses on the monophyletic group of animal RNA viruses united in the order
Nidovirales. The order includes the distantly related coronaviruses, toroviruses, and …

Viruses with RNA genomes dominate the eukaryotic virome, reaching enormous diversity in
animals and plants. The recent advances of metaviromics prompted us to perform a detailed …

Despite the rapid mutational change that is typical of positive-strand RNA viruses, enzymes
mediating the replication and expression of virus genomes contain arrays of conserved …

Genetic decoding is not 'frozen'as was earlier thought, but dynamic. One facet of this is
frameshifting that often results in synthesis of a C-terminal region encoded by a new frame …

Background In observational studies anaemia and iron deficiency are associated with
cognitive deficits, suggesting that iron supplementation may improve cognitive function …

The ribosome is a molecular machine which evolved to translate RNA messages faithfully
and efficiently into a protein product. However, the demands of speed and accuracy conffict …

Modulation of RNA structure is an essential step in many fundamental processes, including
RNA synthesis, splicing, replication, and translation. Recently, an increasing number of …

A typing enzyme immunoassay (TYPE-EIA) was used to determine the antigenic types of 64
astrovirus-positive specimens from nine collections from seven countries. Six of the seven …

Bats are increasingly recognized to harbor a wide range of viruses, and in most instances
these viruses appear to establish long-term persistence in these animals. They are the …
