EVOLUTION OF MUTATIONAL ROBUSTNESS IN AN RNA VIRUS.

Evolution of mutational robustness in an RNA virus.

Mutational (genetic) robustness is phenotypic constancy in the face of mutational changes to the genome.Robustness is critical to the understanding of evolution because phenotypically expressed genetic variation is the fuel of natural selection.Nonetheless, the evidence for adaptive evolution of mutational robustness in biological populations is co

Top Physics at CMS/LHC

Recent results on the inclusive and differential production cross sections of top-quark pair and single top-quark processes are presented, obtained using data Proteins from proton-proton collisions collected with the CMS detector at the LHC.The large centre-of-mass energies available at LHC allow for the copious production of top-quark pairs in ass

Rotavirus Particle Disassembly and Assembly In Vivo and In Vitro

Rotaviruses (RVs) are non-enveloped multilayered dsRNA viruses that are major etiologic agents of diarrheal disease in humans and in Proteins the young in a large number of animal species.The viral particle is composed of three different protein layers that enclose the segmented dsRNA genome and the transcriptional complexes.Each layer defines a un
