TL;DR: The proposals introduce new species and genera into both subfamilies, resolve one misclassified species, and improve taxonomic clarity by employing a series of systematic changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aidan Dolan,Charles Cunningham,Ralph D. Hector,Aycan F. Hassan-Walker,Lydia Lee,Clare Addison,Derrick J. Dargan,Duncan J. McGeoch,Derek Gatherer,Vincent C. Emery,Paul D. Griffiths,Christian Sinzger,Brian P. McSharry,Gavin William Grahame Wilkinson,Andrew J. Davison +14 more
TL;DR: The genetic content of wild-type human cytomegalovirus was investigated by sequencing the 235 645 bp genome of a low passage strain (Merlin) and it was indicated that Merlin accurately reflects the wild- type complement of 165 genes, containing no obvious mutations other than a single nucleotide substitution that truncates gene UL128.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zika virus: a previously slow pandemic spreads rapidly through the Americas.
Derek Gatherer,Alain Kohl +1 more
TL;DR: Its clinical profile is that of a dengue-like febrile illness, but associations with Guillain-Barré syndrome and microcephaly have appeared recently.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-resolution human cytomegalovirus transcriptome
Derek Gatherer,Sepher Seirafian,Charles Cunningham,Mary Holton,Derrick J. Dargan,Katarina Baluchova,Ralph D. Hector,Julie Galbraith,Pawel Herzyk,Gavin William Grahame Wilkinson,Andrew J. Davison +10 more
TL;DR: The overall conclusion, that HCMV transcription is complex and multifaceted, has implications for the potential sophistication of virus functionality during infection and illustrates the key contribution that deep sequencing can make to the genomics of nuclear DNA viruses.
Insight Review The 2014 Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa
TL;DR: The appearance of cases in the Guinean capital, Conakry, and the transit of another case through the Liberian capital, Monrovia, presents the first large urban setting for EVD transmission.
