Specificity of Baculovirus P6.9 Basic DNA-Binding Proteins and Critical Role of the C Terminus in Virion Formation
Manli Wang,Manli Wang,E. Tuladhar,Shu Shen,Hualin Wang,Monique M. van Oers,Just M. Vlak,Marcel Westenberg,Marcel Westenberg +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the C terminus of baculovirus P6.9 contains sequence elements essential for virion formation, which implies that the Baculoviridae family member P 6.9 is not required for viral DNA replication but is essential for the production of infectious virus.

Real-time tracking of Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) outbreaks in the Netherlands using Nextstrain
Bart T. L. H. van de Vossenberg,Michael Visser,Maaike Bruinsma,Harrie Koenraadt,Marcel Westenberg,M. Botermans +5 more
TL;DR: A Nextstrain build containing ToBRFV genomes up to and including November 2019 is described, which will enable the plant virology field to better understand and communicate the diversity and spread of this new virus.
Escherichia coli MW005: lambda Red-mediated recombineering and copy-number induction of oriV-equipped constructs in a single host.
TL;DR: A new strain is produced, MW005, which combines recombineering capacity with the useful ability to transiently induce copy-number of oriV-equipped clones, and will enable the more rapid recombineered-mediated production of recombinant clones in the yield and quality necessary for many downstream purposes.
