Transcriptional programs of infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) in vitro and in vivo
Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV), causing serious infectious diseases to marine and freshwater fishes, is the type species of the genus Megalocytivirus, family Iridoviridae. In this study, the ...

Identification of infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV)-encoded microRNAs
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by complementary binding to target mRNAs. Virus-encoded miRNAs play important roles in virus life cycle and viru...

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of an undulatory mechanical fin driven by shape memory alloy
Many fishes use undulatory fin to propel themselves in the underwater environment. These locomotor mechanisms have a popular interest to many researchers. In the present study, we perform a three-dimensional u...
