STAT1-cooperative DNA binding distinguishes type 1 from type 2 interferon signaling (Publications)
STAT1 is an indispensable component of a heterotrimer (ISGF3) and a STAT1 homodimer (GAF) that function as transcription regulators in type 1 and type 2 interferon signaling, respectively. To investig

Evaluation of four single-locus markers for <em>Leishmania</em> species discrimination by sequencing (Publications)
Several genetic markers have been described for discriminating Leishmania species. In most reported cases, one or a few polymorphisms are the basis of species identification, and the methods were vali
Feasibility and clinical outcomes when using practice guidelines for evaluation of fever in returning travelers and migrants: a validation study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Practice guidelines for examining febrile patients presenting upon returning from the tropics were developed to assist primary care physicians in decision making. Because of the low level
