Ansil B, Sanyal A, Sreenivas D, Garg K, Ramakrishnan U, Chattopadhyay B
Ecohealth . 2025 Feb; 22(1):5-10. PMID: 39903359
Land-use change and increased human-livestock-wildlife interactions have generated numerous possibilities for viral spillover, demanding enhanced surveillance in biodiverse regions. We investigated adenovirus diversity in small mammals, an understudied host taxon,...

Ramakrishnan U, Aggarwal T, Kondabagil K
PLoS One . 2025 Jan; 20(1):e0316818. PMID: 39761312
Nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) have massive genome and particle sizes compared to other known viruses. NCLDVs, including poxviruses, encode ATPases of the FtsK/HerA superfamily to facilitate genome encapsidation. However,...

Grossen C, Ramakrishnan U
Curr Biol . 2024 Dec; 34(24):R1216-R1220. PMID: 39689685
We tend to assume that all genetic variation is good: the higher the variation in a population, the more diverse its gene pool, the more secure its future. Unfortunately, the...

Khan A, Sil M, Thekaekara T, Garg K, Sinha I, Khurana R, et al.
Curr Biol . 2024 Sep; 34(20):4692-4703.e5. PMID: 39341203
Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are the largest extant terrestrial megaherbivores native to Asia, with 60% of their wild population found in India. Despite ecological and cultural importance, their population genetic...

Armstrong E, Mooney J, Solari K, Kim B, Barsh G, Grant V, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Sep; 121(39):e2402924121. PMID: 39298482
Genomic studies of endangered species have primarily focused on describing diversity patterns and resolving phylogenetic relationships, with the overarching goal of informing conservation efforts. However, few studies have investigated genomic...

Tyagi A, Yadav N, Pandit A, Ramakrishnan U
Mol Ecol . 2024 Jul; 33(16):e17461. PMID: 38958291
Humans have impacted most of the planet, and the ensuing fragmentation results in small, isolated habitat patches posing a risk of genetic diversity loss, inbreeding, and genetic load. Understanding how...

Ansil B, George C, Chandrasingh S, Viswanathan A, Thattai M, Raghu P, et al.
Indian J Med Microbiol . 2023 Aug; 45:100384. PMID: 37573057
Purpose: Compared to nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs (N/OPS-VTM), non-invasive saliva samples have enormous potential for scalability and routine population screening of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we investigate the efficacy of saliva samples...

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc . 2023 Jul; 98(6):2114-2135. PMID: 37449566
Intraguild interactions among carnivores have long held the fascination of ecologists. Ranging from competition to facilitation and coexistence, these interactions and their complex interplay influence everything from species persistence to...
