A majority of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are asymptomatic and self-resolving in
the absence of medical interventions. Various innate and adaptive immune responses, as …

The apolipoprotein B messenger RNA-editing, enzyme-catalytic, polypeptide-like 3
(APOBEC3) family of cytidine deaminases plays an important role in the innate immune …

The pandemic caused by the spread of SARS-CoV-2 has led to considerable interest in its
evolutionary origin and genome structure. Here, we analyzed mutation patterns in 34 human …

Three highly pathogenic human coronaviruses can cause severe acute respiratory
syndrome (SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV). Although phylogenetic analyses …

Viruses use the cellular machinery of their hosts for replication. It has therefore been
proposed that the nucleotide and dinucleotide compositions of viruses should match those …

Viruses have evolved various mechanisms to evade host immunity and ensure efficient viral
replication and persistence. Several DNA tumor viruses modulate host DNA …

Depletion of CpG dinucleotides in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-
CoV-2) genomes has been linked to virus evolution, host-switching, virus replication, and …

More than 270 different types of papillomaviruses have been discovered in a wide array of
animal species. Despite the great diversity of papillomaviruses, little is known about the …

Bats host diverse viruses due to their unique ecology, behavior, and immunology. However,
the role of other organisms with which bats interact in nature is understudied as a contributor …

Nutritional epigenetics is a rapidly expanding field of research, and the natural modulation of
the genome is a non-invasive, sustainable, and personalized alternative to gene-editing for …
