THE ROLE OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DISPARITIES IN THE RELATIVE SUCCESS AND PERSISTENCE OF SARS-COV-2 VARIANTS IN NEW YORK CITY IN EARLY 2021.

The role of socio-economic disparities in the relative success and persistence of SARS-CoV-2 variants in New York City in early 2021.

Socio-economic disparities were associated with disproportionate viral incidence between neighborhoods of New York City (NYC) during the first wave of SARS-CoV-2.We investigated how these disparities affected the co-circulation of SARS-CoV-2 variants during the second wave in NYC.We tested for correlation between the prevalence, in late 2020/early

The stringent response and cell cycle arrest in Escherichia coli.

The bacterial stringent response, triggered by nutritional deprivation, causes an accumulation of the signaling nucleotides pppGpp and ppGpp.We characterize the replication arrest that occurs during the stringent response in Escherichia coli.Wild type cells undergo a RelA-dependent arrest after treatment with serine hydroxamate to contain an intege
