Mature rotavirus particles contain equivalent amounts of 7meGpppGcap and noncapped viral positive-sense RNAs

J. Moreno-Contreras, L. Sanchez-Tacuba, C. F. Arias, S. Lopez

The paper quantifies the ratio of capped and noncapped viral RNAs in rotavirus particles and infected cells, finding a 1:1 ratio in mature particles despite dynamic changes during infection.

Saliva sampling is an excellent option to increase the number of SARS CoV2 diagnostic tests in settings with supply shortages

J. Moreno-Contreras, M. A. Espinoza, C. Sandoval-Jaime, M. A. Cantu-Cuevas, H. Baron-Olivares, O. Ortiz-Orozco, A. V. Munoz-Rangel, M. Hernandez-de la Cuz, C. M. Eroza-Osorio, C. F. Arias, S. Lopez

This study demonstrates that saliva sampling can be used for efficient and cost-effective SARS-CoV-2 RNA detection, reducing reliance on scarce reagents and minimizing healthcare worker exposure.

Increasing the Capping Efficiency of the Sindbis Virus nsP1 Protein Negatively Affects Viral Infection

A. T. LaPointe, J. Moreno-Contreras, K. J. Sokoloski

This study shows that increasing capping efficiency of Sindbis virus nsP1 protein reduces viral growth, suggesting noncapped genomic RNAs are important for viral particle production.
