MIRRI-ERIC's position on the recent evolution of the international code of nome...
Aznar, Rosa; Mistou, Michel-Yves; Rahi, Praveen; Legras, Jean-Luc; Boroduske, Anete; Stefaniu, Amalia; Lima, Nelson; Karagouni, Amalia D.The current state of prokaryotic nomenclature is increasingly complex, with ongoing debates arising from the rejection of the 2020 proposal to amend the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) to accept genome sequences as nomenclatural types. This decision subsequently led to the development of the SeqCode, an alternative code based on genome sequences as types for yet-uncultured microorganism...
Vitamin D-related polymorphisms and vitamin D levels as risk biomarkers of COVI...
Freitas, Ana Teresa; Calhau, Conceição; Antunes, Gonçalo; Araújo, Beatriz; Bandeira, Matilde; Barreira, Sofia; Bazenga, Filipa; Braz, SandraVitamin D is a fundamental regulator of host defences by activating genes related to innate and adaptive immunity. Previous research shows a correlation between the levels of vitamin D in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and the degree of disease severity. This work investigates the impact of the genetic background related to vitamin D pathways on COVID-19 severity. For the first time, the Portuguese populatio...
