Evolutionary analysis of human-origin influenza A virus (H3N2) genes associated with the codon usage patterns since 1993.
Insung Ahn,Hyeon S. Son +1 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that, in human populations, A/H3N2 viruses have gradually changed their SSCs in two external genes, HA and NA, and that these accumulated alteration patterns may result in the antigenic changes over time.

Comparative bioinformatics analysis of prion proteins isolated from reptile, rodent, ruminant, and human species
Insung Ahn,Hyeon S. Son +1 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis revealed that, although the turtle PrP sequence is the most distinct of the PrPs analyzed, it nonetheless retains five conserved secondary structural elements that are similar to those found in the mammalian PrPs, suggesting that these elements have important functions in vivo.
Epidemiological comparisons of codon usage patterns among HIV-1 isolates from Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas.
Insung Ahn,Hyeon S. Son +1 more
TL;DR: The synonymous codon usage patterns among the individual HIV-1 subtypes reflect genetic variations, and this bioinformatics technique may be useful in conjunction with phylogenetic methods for predicting the evolutionary patterns of pandemic viruses.
Correlations Between the Incidence of National Notifiable Infectious Diseases and Public Open Data, Including Meteorological Factors and Medical Facility Resources.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between the incidence of national notifiable infectious diseases (NNIDs) and meteorological factors, air pollution levels, and hospital resources in Korea.
Discriminant analysis of prion sequences for prediction of susceptibility.
TL;DR: Discriminant analysis of prion sequences with scoring matrices was attempted as a possible means of determining susceptibility to prion diseases and indicated that the number of polymorphisms did not influence prion-disease susceptibility, and three and four k- objects showed the best accuracy in identifying the susceptible group.
