Typing Arctic and Africa-2 clades of rabies virus using clade-defining single nucleotide polymorphisms - Archives of Microbiology
Rabies is a deadly neurotropic, zoonotic disease with a mortality rate of 100% after symptoms appear. Rabies virus (RABV) is the primary cause of rabies disease in humans, and it mainly spreads via do...

When should you use a package vs. solving a problem from scratch in bioinformatics? I get asked this a lot. Here’s my approach: 👇

That explains a lot 🫥
🧪 If you cannot eat a particular food item, no matter how hard you try, it’s likely that your negative expectations, more than the taste itself, determine that outcome.

Your mind shapes how food tastes before the first bite
Researchers are uncovering why we eat first with our expectations, and that can help us shape our attitudes toward new foods and experiences.

Rabies in the news.
#Rabies is caused by #viruses of the genus *Lyssavirus*; there are 17 known species in the genus. The most number of rabies cases are caused by #rabiesvirus (type species of the genus). Dog-mediated rabies is a big issue for LMICs.
