Since SNAP is a global aligner, the optimal edit distance determined by Youden’s index and the F1 score (harmonic mean) (Akobeng 2007) increases linearly as the read length increases (Supplemental Fig. S1C). For RAPSearch, the optimal E-value cutoff decreases exponentially as the read length increases (Supplemental Fig. S1D). Comparison of processing time and costs for running SURPI versus PathSeq v2.1 on a cloud server. Both SURPI and PathSeq v2.1 can be run in a cloud computing environment using an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) server. We benchmarked SURPI using a hi1.4xlarge instance with 16vCPUs, 60.5 GB RAM, and 2 x 1024 GB SSDs. PathSeq was run using its default “cloud” setup and with default parameters on EC2, using a Hadoop cluster of 20 m1.large instances as described (Kostic et al. 2011). Overall processing times and costs are reported in Supplemental Table S1. Costs were calculated by hour (minutes rounded up) according to established Amazon EC2 prices as of July of 2013. Accuracy of SURPI for viral read identification in clinical NGS datasets SURPI’s ability to correctly identify viral reads originating from viral genomes known to be represented in clinical NGS datasets was evaluated. Clinical sample sets benchmarked and validated by SURPI are shown in Table S4. True viral reads / microbial reads were defined as meeting an E-value cutoff of 1x10-20 after BLASTn alignment to the most closely related viral genome in the reference database. Using this definition, the sensitivity and specificity of SURPI for viral identification were calculated (Supplemental Table S5). For detection of parechovirus in pediatric stool, there is decreased sensitivity by SURPI in fast mode due to sequence divergence (Figure 5B; Supplemental Table S4), as fast mode, unlike comprehensive mode, does not use RAPSearch for translated nucleotide alignment to the viral database. Similarly, for the highly divergent titi monkey adenovirus (TMAdV) and Bas-Congo rhabodovirus (BASV), only 8% and 0% viral reads are detected by nucleotide alignment, respectively, using SNAP, while only 14-16% viral reads are detected using RAPSearch (Figure 5G; Supplemental Table S4). 3 SUPPLEMENTAL METHODS Clinical samples NGS datasets from clinical samples harboring defined pathogens were generated in-house with the exception of datasets corresponding to a prostate cancer cell line (Prensner et al. 2011) and biopsy tissue from a colon cancer study (Castellarin et al. 2012), which were downloaded from the publicly available NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA). Details of NGS library preparation have been previously reported for the following datasets: chronic hepatitis (serum) (Naccache et al. 2013), pediatric diarrhea (stool) (Yu et al. 2012), hemorrhagic fever (serum) (Grard et al. 2012), prostate cancer (biopsy tissue) (Lee et al. 2012), simian pneumonia (lung swab / tissue) (Chen et al. 2011), and acute respiratory illness from influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 (nasal swab) (Greninger et al. 2010) (Supplementary Methods). The remaining in-house NGS libraries were derived from the following diseases and clinical samples: transfusion-transmitted viral hepatitis from the transfusion-transmitted viruses study (TTVS) (serum), (Mosley et al. 1990), hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (serum) (Hartline et al. 2013), encephalitis (cerebrospinal fluid), spiked HIV (plasma), acute hemorrhagic fever outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Africa (serum), acute febrile illness in Tanzania, Africa (serum), and fever in a returning traveler (serum). Ethics statement All clinical samples were analyzed under protocols approved by the UCSF Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the IRBs of the collaborative donor institutions. Written informed consent to provide clinical samples for microbial analysis was previously obtained for patients in the chronic hepatitis cohort (University of Chicago) (Naccache et al. 2013) and the BIOLINCC Transfusion-Transmitted Viruses Study (Mosley et al. 1990), and for the returning traveler with undiagnosed fever. Other samples did not require consent as they were pre-existing and de- identified or were obtained from public health investigations, thus deemed not to constitute human subjects research NGS library construction The majority of NGS libraries were constructed using a modified TruSeq (Illumina, San Diego, CA) protocol as previously described (Naccache et al. 2013). Briefly, reverse transcription was performed using random nonamers attached to a 18 bp linker adapter (Wang et al. 2003), followed by second-strand synthesis using Sequenase (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, 4 CA) and 10-25 cycles of PCR amplification using high-fidelity KlenTaq LA DNA polymerase (Sigma-Aldrich, Carlsbad, CA). Adapter sequences were then cleaved using the Type IIs restriction

  • Grapevine Virus Diseases: Economic Impact and Current Advances in Viral Prospection and Management1
    1/22 ISSN 0100-2945 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0100-29452017411 GRAPEVINE VIRUS DISEASES: ECONOMIC IMPACT AND CURRENT ADVANCES IN VIRAL PROSPECTION AND MANAGEMENT1 MARCOS FERNANDO BASSO2, THOR VINÍCIUS MArtins FAJARDO3, PASQUALE SALDARELLI4 ABSTRACT-Grapevine (Vitis spp.) is a major vegetative propagated fruit crop with high socioeconomic importance worldwide. It is susceptible to several graft-transmitted agents that cause several diseases and substantial crop losses, reducing fruit quality and plant vigor, and shorten the longevity of vines. The vegetative propagation and frequent exchanges of propagative material among countries contribute to spread these pathogens, favoring the emergence of complex diseases. Its perennial life cycle further accelerates the mixing and introduction of several viral agents into a single plant. Currently, approximately 65 viruses belonging to different families have been reported infecting grapevines, but not all cause economically relevant diseases. The grapevine leafroll, rugose wood complex, leaf degeneration and fleck diseases are the four main disorders having worldwide economic importance. In addition, new viral species and strains have been identified and associated with economically important constraints to grape production. In Brazilian vineyards, eighteen viruses, three viroids and two virus-like diseases had already their occurrence reported and were molecularly characterized. Here, we review the current knowledge of these viruses, report advances in their diagnosis and prospection of new species, and give indications about the management of the associated grapevine diseases. Index terms: Vegetative propagation, plant viruses, crop losses, berry quality, next-generation sequencing.

Received: 30 May 2013; in revised form: 17 July 2013 / Accepted: 17 July 2013 / Published: 23 July 2013 Abstract: Baculoviruses are one of the largest viruses that replicate in the nucleus of their host cells. During infection, the rod-shape, 250-nm long nucleocapsid delivers its genome into the nucleus. Electron microscopy evidence suggests that baculoviruses, specifically the Alphabaculoviruses (nucleopolyhedroviruses) and the Betabaculoviruses (granuloviruses), have evolved two very distinct modes for doing this. Here we review historical and current experimental results of baculovirus nuclear import studies, with an emphasis on electron microscopy studies employing the prototypical baculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus infecting cultured cells. We also discuss the implications of recent studies towards theories of nuclear transport mechanisms. Keywords: baculovirus; AcMNPV; nuclear import; nuclear pore complex; viruses 1. Introduction Baculoviruses are a large and diverse group of rod-shaped, enveloped, double-stranded DNA viruses that replicate in the nucleus of their host cells. They are pathogenic to arthropods, mainly insects, and are ubiquitously found in the environment. Members of the Baculoviridae family have been isolated from more than 700 host species.

  • Functional Studies of the Coronavirus Nonstructural Proteins Yanglin QIU and Kai XU*
    REVIEW ARTICLE Functional studies of the coronavirus nonstructural proteins Yanglin QIU and Kai XU* Jiangsu Key Laboratory for Microbes and Functional Genomics, College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing 210023, P. R. China. *Correspondence: [email protected] https://doi.org/10.37175/stemedicine.v1i2.39 ABSTRACT Coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and MERS-CoV, have caused contagious and fatal respiratory diseases in humans worldwide. Notably, the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 spread rapidly in early 2020 and became a global pandemic. The nonstructural proteins of coronaviruses are critical components of the viral replication machinery. They function in viral RNA transcription and replication, as well as counteracting the host innate immunity. Studies of these proteins not only revealed their essential role during viral infection but also help the design of novel drugs targeting the viral replication and immune evasion machinery. In this review, we summarize the functional studies of each nonstructural proteins and compare the similarities and differences between nonstructural proteins from different coronaviruses. Keywords: Coronavirus · SARS-CoV-2 · COVID-19 · Nonstructural proteins · Drug discovery Introduction genes (18). The first two major ORFs (ORF1a, ORF1ab) The coronavirus (CoV) outbreaks among human are the replicase genes, and the other four encode viral populations have caused three major epidemics structural proteins that comprise the essential protein worldwide, since the beginning of the 21st century. These components of the coronavirus virions, including the spike are the epidemics of the severe acute respiratory syndrome surface glycoprotein (S), envelope protein (E), matrix (SARS) in 2003 (1, 2), the Middle East respiratory protein (M), and nucleocapsid protein (N) (14, 19, 20).
