Summary
The family Artoviridae, established in 2018, encompasses invertebrate viruses discovered via high-throughput sequencing. These viruses possess negative-sense RNA genomes and infect various arthropods.
Area of Science:
- Virology
- Invertebrate Pathology
- Taxonomy
Background:
- The family Artoviridae was established in 2018.
- It includes the genus Peropuvirus and six newly identified species.
- These viruses were discovered using high-throughput sequencing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) report on the family Artoviridae.
- To provide an overview of the characteristics and hosts of artoviruses.
Main Methods:
- Review of the ICTV report on the family Artoviridae.
- Analysis of data from high-throughput sequencing studies.
Main Results:
- Artoviridae viruses have negative-sense RNA genomes (~12 kb).
- They produce enveloped, spherical particles (100-130 nm).
- Hosts include diverse invertebrates like wasps, barnacles, and copepods.
Conclusions:
- Artoviridae represents a significant viral family infecting invertebrates.
- Further research into artoviruses is warranted given their discovery via novel sequencing methods.

85.7K
Taxonomy is the science of defining and naming groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics. It uses a hierarchy of increasingly inclusive categories with Latin names. The smallest units of taxonomy, species and genus, are used to assign a formal, taxonomic name to each species in a system. This classification system, referred to as binomial nomenclature, was formalized by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century.

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

4.1K
Ribosome profiling or ribo-sequencing is a deep sequencing technique that produces a snapshot of active translation in a cell. It selectively sequences the mRNAs protected by ribosomes to get an insight into a cell’s translation landscape at any given point in time.
Applications of ribosome profiling
Ribosome profiling has many applications, including in vivo monitoring of translation inside a particular organ or tissue type and quantifying new protein synthesis levels.
