conclusions after seven consecutive passages of both cell cultures, the h9n2 virus showed similar antigenicity, also no change on viral titer level and virus replication behavior in adaptation was found. the results highlighted the use of a549 cells for efficient virus isolation. results the influenza virus infectivity was not significant difference in these cells in the presence of trypsin. th...

Disaster recovery solutions have gained popularity in the past few years because of their ability to tolerate disasters and to achieve the reliability and availability. Data replication is one of the most key disaster recovery solutions. While there are a number of mechanisms to restore data after disasters, the efficiency of the recovery process is not ideal yet. Providing the efficiency guara...

Studies on the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been facilitated by the development of selectable subgenomic replicons replicating in the human hepatoma cell line Huh-7 at a surprisingly high level. Analysis of the replicon population in selected cells revealed the occurrence of cell culture-adaptive mutations that enhance RNA replication substantially. To gain a better understanding...

Matrix protein is known to have an important role in the process of virus assembly and virion release during measles virus replication. In the present in vitro study, a single mutation of E89K in the matrix protein was shown to affect cell death and virus replication efficiency in human PBMC. One strain with this mutation caused less cell death than the parental virus, and possessed high virus ...

Origins of DNA replication are generally inefficient, with most firing in fewer than half of cell cycles. However, neither the mechanism nor the importance of the regulation of origin efficiency is clear. In fission yeast, origin firing is stochastic, leading us to hypothesize that origin inefficiency and stochasticity are the result of a diffusible, rate-limiting activator. We show that the Hs...

The initiation of DNA replication is a complex, multistep process with important implications for genomic stability. In this issue, Wu and Nurse (2009) find that initiation factors are differentially recruited to replication origins. They uncover evidence suggesting that the efficiency of this recruitment may determine whether and when an origin is used to initiate DNA replication in S phase.

abstract— data grids are an important branch of gird computing which provide mechanisms for the management of large volumes of distributed data. energy efficiency has recently emerged as a hot topic in large distributed systems. the development of computing systems is traditionally focused on performance improvements driven by the demand of client's applications in scientific and business ...

Replication origins in a genome are inherently different in their base sequence and in their response to temporal and cell cycle regulation signals for DNA replication. To investigate the chromosomal determinants that influence the efficiency of initiation of DNA replication genome-wide, we made use of a reverse strategy originally used for the isolation of replication initiation mutants in Sac...
