Global synonymous mutagenesis identifies cis-acting RNA elements that regulate HIV-1 splicing and replication.

abstract：:Idiopathic chronic diarrhea (ICD) is a leading cause of morbidity amongst rhesus monkeys kept in captivity. Here, we show that exposure of affected animals to the whipworm Trichuris trichiura led to clinical improvement in fecal consistency, accompanied by weight gain, in four out of the five treated monkeys. By flow ...
