    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of screening salmonids for increased resistance to viral infection, such as infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IP-NV) infection. The present disclosure also relates to fish which have been genetic modified to have increased resistance to viral/IPNV infection. The present disclosure further relates to the use of these fish, which have been identified. or genetically modified to have increased genetic resistance. in aquaculture breeding programs and/or production. The present disclosure further relates to the use of small molecules which target NAE1 and their use in therapy or prevention of viral/IPNV infection.

  • Publication number: 20060064673
    Abstract: System and method for creating, configuring, representing, and using variables in programs. A graphical user interface (GUI) may be displayed in response to user input requesting creation and/or configuration of a variable for use in or comprised in one or more programs, e.g., on various devices. User input is received to the GUI configuring attributes of the variable, including: name, data type, and/or scope (e.g., local, global, or network). The configured attributes are stored and optionally displayed, e.g., in a resource tree, and the variable in each of the programs updated in accordance with the configured attributes. When at least one of the programs is incompatible with the configured variable, an error condition may be indicated, e.g., by providing information relating to portions of the program that are incompatible with the configured variable. The program may be modified in response to user input for compatibility with the configured variable.
