Article Abstract

Following the results of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Ratification Vote held in March 2021, a standard two-part "binomial nomenclature" is now the norm for naming virus species. Adoption of the new nomenclature is still in its infancy; thus, it is timely to reiterate the distinction between "virus" and "virus species" and to provide guidelines for naming and writing them correctly.

Genome-wide identification analysis of aldo-keto reductase gene family in cotton and GhAKR40 role in salt stress tolerance.

Funct Integr Genomics

September 2025

Zhengzhou Research Base, State Key Laboratory of Cotton Bio-Breeding and Integrated Utilization, Zhengzhou University/Institute of Cotton Research, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Zhengzhou, China.

In this study, a comprehensive genome-wide identification and analysis of the aldo-keto reductase (AKR) gene family was performed to explore the role of Gossypium hirsutumAKR40 under salt stress in cotton. A total of 249 AKR genes were identified with uneven distribution on the chromosomes in four cotton species. The diversity and evolutionary relationship of the cotton AKR gene family was identified using physio-chemical analysis, phylogenetic tree construction, conserved motif analysis, chromosomal localization, prediction of cis-acting elements, and calculation of evolutionary selection pressure under 300 mM NaCl stress.

The ferret model is widely used to study influenza A viruses (IAVs) isolated from multiple avian and mammalian species, as IAVs typically replicate in the respiratory tract of ferrets without the need for prior host adaptation. During standard IAV risk assessments, tissues are routinely collected from ferrets at a fixed time point post-inoculation to assess the capacity for systemic spread. Here, we describe a data set of virus titers in tissues collected from both respiratory tract and extrapulmonary sites 3 days post-inoculation from over 300 ferrets inoculated with more than 100 unique IAVs (inclusive of H1, H2, H3, H5, H7, and H9 IAV subtypes, both mammalian and zoonotic origin).

Genomic characterization of arboviruses discovered between the 1950s and 1980s.

J Virol

September 2025

Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Molecular Genetics, College of Medicine, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, USA.

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a major threat to global public health, impacting both human and animal health. Genomic characterization is important for arboviruses because it allows for an understanding of their evolution and improves timely outbreak and epidemic response. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing and computational analyses to characterize the genomes and evolution of 46 previously unsequenced or partially sequenced arbovirus isolates collected across 23 countries between 1954 and 1984.

Unlabelled: Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) induce significant reorganization of the nuclear environment, leading to the formation of virus-induced subnuclear structures known as replication compartments (RCs). Within these RCs, viral genome replication, gene expression, and modulation of cellular antiviral responses are tightly coordinated, making them valuable models for studying virus-host interactions. In a recent study, we analyzed the protein composition of HAdV type 5 (HAdV-C5) RCs isolated from infected primary cells at different time points during infection using quantitative proteomics.
