A PARADIGM FOR VIRUS-HOST COEVOLUTION: SEQUENTIAL COUNTER-ADAPTATIONS BETWEEN ENDOGENOUS AND EXOGENOUS RETROVIRUSES.

A paradigm for virus-host coevolution: sequential counter-adaptations between endogenous and exogenous retroviruses.

Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are remnants of ancient retroviral infections of the host germline transmitted vertically from generation to generation.It is Jandy FloPro Parts hypothesized that some ERVs are used by the host as restriction factors to block the infection of pathogenic retroviruses.Indeed, some ERVs efficiently interfere with the rep

Process attributes in bio-ontologies

Abstract Background Biomedical processes can provide essential information about the (mal-) functioning of an organism and are thus frequently represented in biomedical terminologies and ontologies, including the GO Biological Process branch.These processes often need to be described and categorised in terms of their attributes, such as rates or re
