This study shows selenium deficiency in mice increases viral mutation diversity and generates mutations seen in SARS-CoV-2 pandemic variants.

The paper compares plaque formation of ZIKV strains on Vero and Vero/TMPRSS2 cells, finding that Vero/TMPRSS2 cells produce more visible and distinct plaques.

The paper introduces a neural network model to predict translation elongation rates and validates it by designing synonymous variants that match predicted protein output in yeast.
