Thrilled to share our last work, on which we provide new insights into the evolutionary trajectories and functional adaptations of HSP70 in viruses. Want to dive deeper? Read the full story 👇 @microbiologysociety.org #Virology#VirusEvolution

Multiple origins and functions: evolutionary pathways of HSP70 proteins in viruses
Heat shock protein 70s (HSP70s) are highly conserved molecular chaperones found across all domains of life, where they play essential roles in cellular stress responses. Whilst HSP70 homologues have b...

Detection of viruses/viroid and characterization of their derived small RNAs in four monocotyledonous plants - Tropical Plant Pathology
RNA interference based antiviral defense generates small interfering RNAs.To gain insight into this mechanism during viral infections, we analyzed public small RNA sequencing (sRNA-seq) data and chara...
