    Retraction: 'Infectivity of hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) positive plasma with undetectable HBV-DNA: Can HBsAg screening be discontinued in Egyptian blood donors?' by Magdy El Ekiaby, Junko Tanaka, Harry van Drimmelen, Jean-Pierre Allain, Nico Lelie, J Viral Hepat 2022, 29: 330-339. The above article, published online on 11 March 2022 in Wiley Online Library (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jvh.13666) has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the journal's Editor in Chief, Graham Foster, and John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The authors have informed the journal that a systematic calculation error was discovered subsequent to the publication. Following editorial assessment, all parties have agreed that the identified error could potentially have implications for public health decision-making and warrant retraction of the article in its present form. The authors have been recommended to submit a corrected version of the article for an independent evaluation.

    The Scientific Method01:32

    The Scientific Method

    The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
    Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

    Synthetic Biology

    Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

    Reproductive Cloning01:27

    Reproductive Cloning

    Reproductive cloning is the process of producing a genetically identical copy—a clone—of an entire organism. While clones can be produced by splitting an early embryo—similar to what happens naturally with identical twins—cloning of adult animals is usually done by a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).
    Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
    In SCNT, an egg cell is taken from an animal and its nucleus is removed, creating an enucleated egg. Then a somatic...

    The Retina01:32

    The Retina

    The retina is a layer of nervous tissue at the back of the eye that transduces light into neural signals. This process, called phototransduction, is carried out by rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the back of the retina.

    Viral Recombination

    Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.
