Exploring the Concept of Clonality in Bacteria
Time of Update: 2021-01-25
The rate at which clonal diversification occurs depends on the extent of recombination, which varies among bacteria, so that some species have rather stable clones (e.g.,Salmonella enterica ), whereas in other species (e.g.,Helicobacter pylori ) clones may be so transient that they cannot readily be discerned.

Molecular Approaches to AIDS Vaccine Development Using Baculovirus Expression Vectors
Time of Update: 2021-01-25
During infection, HIV induces both a humor-al and cell-mediated immune response to its viral components.
The antibody response clears the virus from the circulation, but does not eliminate cells that become latently infected.

Genome-Wide Measurement of Histone H3 Replacement Dynamics in Yeast
Time of Update: 2021-01-25
Chromatin plays critical roles in processes governed in different timescales – responses to environmental changes require rapid plasticity, while long-term stability through multiple cell generations requires epigenetically heritable chromatin.
Understanding the dynamic behavior of chromatin is of great interest for fields ranging from transcriptional regulation through meiosis and gametogenesis.
