Article

Identifying viral infections through metagenomic Next Generation Sequencing of undiagnosed respiratory fevers in Madagascar (2014-2019).

Research record from BMC Infect Dis, 2026-06-06. PMID 42251252.

Article

Improved Safety of Nucleic Acid Amplification Technology Combined With Serological Tests for Screening Blood Donors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Research record from Rev Med Virol, 2026-03-01. PMID 41722066.

Indicators

KIT Gene

This gene plays a role in cellular hematopoiesis and differentiations. Mutations in the gene are associated with several diseases, including acute myelogenous leukemia, gastrointestinal tumors, and mast cell disease.

Glossary Term

Limit of Quantitation (LoQ)

The lowest concentration of an analyte that can be quantified with acceptable accuracy and precision under stated conditions — distinct from, and higher than, the limit of detection.

Performance Metrics

Indicators

Lysine

One of nine essential amino acids in humans required for growth and tissue repair, Lysine is supplied by many foods, especially red meats, fish, and dairy products. Lysine seems to be active against herpes simplex viruses and present in many forms of diet supplements. The mechanism underlying this effect is based on the viral need for amino acid arginine; lysine competes with arginine for absorption and entry into cells. Lysine inhibits HSV growth by knocking out arginine. (NCI04)

Article

Molecular surveillance of respiratory viral pathogens detected by multiplex PCR during the post-COVID-19 period: Distribution, Co-infections, and seasonal patterns.

Research record from Indian J Med Microbiol, 2026-08-10. PMID 42575447.

Research record from Front Pediatr, 2026-06-17. PMID 42388410.

Glossary Term

Mutation Abnormality

Any transmissible change in the genetic material of an organism, which can result from radiation, viral infection, transposition, treatment with mutagenic chemicals and errors during DNA replication or meiosis. The effects of mutation range from single base changes to loss or gain of complete chromosomes. As many of the simpler alterations to DNA may be repaired, such changes are only heritable once the change is fixed in the DNA by the process of replication. Mutations may be associated with genetic diversity or with pathologies including cancer.

Pcr Terms

Indicators

MYC Gene

This gene plays a role in cell cycle progression and apoptosis. Cytogenetic aberrations in the gene are involved in cellular transformation and are associated with a variety of hematopoietic tumors, leukemias and lymphomas.
