TL;DR: In this paper, a real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) detection for SARS-CoV-2 has been presented, taking into account its intrinsic polymorphic nature that arises due to genetic drift and recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIV-1 vaccine strategies utilizing viral vectors including antigen- displayed inoviral vectors.
TL;DR: Inoviral vectors are important antigen-carriers in vaccine development due to their ability to present an antigen on their outer architecture in many copies and to their natural high immunogenicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative HIV-1 Phylogenies Characterized by PR/RT, Pol and Near-Full-Length Genome Sequences
TL;DR: The study highlights that neither PR/RT nor pol region sequences are reliable for the determination of HIV-1 genotypic subtypes in samples showing discrepancies among different subtyping tools, and only near-full-length or full-length HIV- 1 genome sequences are sufficiently accurate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Epidemiology of the SARS-CoV-2 Epidemic in Cyprus from November 2020 to October 2021: The Passage of Waves of Alpha and Delta Variants of Concern

TL;DR: In this article , the authors performed detailed genetic, phylogenetic, phylodynamic and phylogeographic analyses to examine the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Cyprus using 2352 SARS CoV2 sequences from infected individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Re-analysis of unassigned hepatitis C virus (HCV) strain CYHCV025: Evidence of a highly divergent lineage within genotype 1.
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of full-length sequences revealed that CYHCV025 clustered close to the root node of genotype 1, showing distant genetic relationships to all previously classified subtypes and unclassified sequences.
