Want to keep track of the H5 viruses that are circulating so widely, and infecting so many animals now - including cows and humans!
Our lab's 2nd preprint is now on bioRxiv! Led by Jordan Ort, we made H5 datasets that enable rapid clade assignment with Nextclade. We released these builds in the spring (due to cow flu) & finally wrote the paper! TLDR: it's fast, easy, accurate, and we hope, useful www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Development of avian influenza A(H5) virus datasets for Nextclade enables rapid and accurate clade assignment
The ongoing panzootic of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) viruses is the largest in history, with unprecedented transmission to multiple mammalian species. Avian influenza A viruses of t...

Glad to see our work on the proviral activity exhibited by UBA1, a host protein interacting with Zika virus NS5, finally published on JGV doi.org/10.1099/jgv....
Ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 1 interacts with Zika virus NS5 and promotes viral replication in the infected cell
Translation errors, impaired folding or environmental stressors (e.g. infection) can all lead to an increase in the presence of misfolded proteins. These activate cellular responses to their removal, ...
