Using Environmental Tracers to Characterize Groundwater Flow Mechanisms in the Fractured Crystalline and Karst Aquifers in Upper Crocodile River Basin, Johannesburg, South Africa

Environmental isotope tracers were applied in the Upper Crocodile River Basin, Johannesburg, South Africa, to understand the groundwater recharge conditions, flow mechanisms and interactions between surface and subsurface water.Stable isotope analysis indicated that recharge into the fractured quartzite aquifer occurs through direct mechanisms.The

Epstein-Barr virus evades restrictive host chromatin closure by subverting B cell activation and germinal center regulatory loci

Summary: Chromatin accessibility fundamentally governs gene expression and biological response programs that can be manipulated by pathogens.Here we capture dynamic chromatin landscapes of individual B cells during Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) deva curl arc angel infection.EBV+ cells that exhibit arrest via antiviral sensing and proliferation-linked DN
