Viral transformation is the change in growth, phenotype, or indefinite reproduction of cells caused by the introduction of inheritable material. Through this process, a virus causes harmful transformations of an in vivo cell or cell culture .
Nucleomics: Study of the complete set of genomic components which form "the cell nucleus as a complex, dynamic biological system, referred to as the nucleome". [ 16 ] [ 17 ] The 4D Nucleome Consortium officially joined the IHEC ( International Human Epigenome Consortium ) in 2017.
CBD is the home of an NIH Center for the HuBMAP Integration, Visualization & Engaging (HIVE) Initiative [15] led by Ziv Bar-Joseph and an NIH Center for Multiscale Analysis of 4D Nucleome Structure and Function by Comprehensive Multimodal Data Integration [16] led by Jian Ma.
Viral evolution is a subfield of evolutionary biology and virology concerned with the evolution of viruses. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Viruses have short generation times, and many—in particular RNA viruses —have relatively high mutation rates (on the order of one point mutation or more per genome per round of replication).
Viral dynamics is a field of applied mathematics concerned with describing the progression of viral infections within a host organism. [1] It employs a family of mathematical models that describe changes over time in the populations of cells targeted by the virus and the viral load. These equations may also track competition between different ...
A genetically modified virus is a virus that has been altered or generated using biotechnology methods, and remains capable of infection.Genetic modification involves the directed insertion, deletion, artificial synthesis or change of nucleotide bases in viral genomes.
Viral phylodynamics is the study of how epidemiological, immunological, and evolutionary processes act and potentially interact to shape viral phylogenies. [1] Since the term was coined in 2004, research on viral phylodynamics has focused on transmission dynamics in an effort to shed light on how these dynamics impact viral genetic variation.
Viral metagenomics uses metagenomic technologies to detect viral genomic material from diverse environmental and clinical samples. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Viruses are the most abundant biological entity and are extremely diverse; however, only a small fraction of viruses have been sequenced and only an even smaller fraction have been isolated and cultured.
