In silico description of a new Amalgavirus in the Cannabis sativa transcriptome

The paper describes the first amalgavirus, Cannabis sativa amalgavirus 1, identified in Cannabis sativa transcriptome through data mining analysis.

Development of Int-Plex@ binary memory switch system: plant genome modulation driven by large serine-integrases.

The paper develops Int-Plex@, a binary memory switch system using large serine-integrases to modulate plant genomic DNA through excision or inversion.

Real-time genomic surveillance during the 2021 re-emergence of the yellow fever virus in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil

The paper generates near-complete genomes of the yellow fever virus during an outbreak in Brazil to study its phylogenetic relationships and spatio-temporal spread.

Detection of potential new SARS-CoV-2 Gamma-related lineage in Tocantins shows the spread and ongoing evolution of P.1 in Brazil

The paper reports the predominance of the Gamma (P.1) lineage in Tocantins and describes the emergence of a new mutation L106F in ORF3a from 8 genomes.

Heterogeneity in the response of different subtypes of Drosophila melanogaster enteroendocrine cells to viral infections

The paper uses scRNA-seq to compare how two viruses affect enteroendocrine cells in Drosophila, showing subtype-specific replication strategies and gene expression changes.

Genome-wide diversity in temporal and regional populations of the betabaculovirus Erinnyis ello granulovirus (ErelGV)

The paper analyzes sequence diversity in seven field isolates of the betabaculovirus ErelGV, finding non-synonymous substitutions and gene variation patterns.
