Genetic instability also protects genome integrity
Although it produces pathogenic structural variations, genetic instability at the pachytene piRNA loci protects germ-line genome integrity against transposable element mobilization by driving the formation of rapidly-evolving piRNA sequences.
The infection event could have ended in tragedy
We present the scientific story we discovered (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-36123-w) in the form of a drama.
Re-examining SARS-CoV-2 vaccine targeting and dose separation in England
In late 2020 the COVID-19 vaccination rollout in England comprised two key recommendations: (i) prioritise elderly & vulnerable; (ii) interval between first & second doses increased from 3 to 12 weeks. We re-examined these recommendations with a mathematical model of SARS-CoV-2 infection in England.
