When we started nine years ago, we recognized it was not just a question of hosting the Olympic Games; we also saw it as a massive opportunity to transform a large part of East London, an area that has been an industrial waste ground for centuries.
The ICE database raised these questions and plenty more, but for some tech companies the question of hosting the data proved too provocative from the start.
We hope these maps and tables will be useful to those interested in CTL epitope discovery, the effects of escape and compensatory mutations on viral replication and pathogenesis, the design of novel vaccines, as well as the broader question of host-pathogen co-evolution.
Together with new insights from the polymorphic MHC of the three-spined stickleback, an emerging model system, this offers a resource for researchers to address questions of host-parasite co-evolution, local adaptation and ecological speciation.
Whereas the impact of endosymbionts on the ecology of their hosts is well known in some insect species, the question of whether host communities are influenced by endosymbionts remains largely unanswered.
Efforts to use yeast for conversion face the question of which host organism to use, counterbalancing the ease of genetic manipulation with the promise of robust industrial phenotypes.
We are intrigued by the experimentally accessible question of how host phenotype influences assembly of fungal endophyte communities.
Next, I will focus on pathogens used as biopesticides and discuss the question of extensive host range and multiple modes of action in the fungus Lecanicillium.
Putting aside the question of whether hosts are just as human as we are, if not more so, the way the showrunners and directors have chosen to utilize their bodies has been fascinating.
Nevertheless the question of mosquito host-seeking behaviour in the presence of a physical barrier (bed net) or chemical (repellent on skin, ITNs, or volatile compounds in dwellings) is consequently crucial.
