title: Complete-coding sequence of Ixeridium yellow mottle virus 2 isolated from Crepidiastrum sonchifolium in South Korea

description: The nearly complete genome sequence of Ixeridium yellow mottle virus 2 (IxYMV-2) was validated using partially overlapping RT-PCR fragments amplified with four primer sets, Sanger sequencing, and a 5’ RACE kit (v.20; Invitrogen). Attempts to perform 3’ RACE were unsuccessful. The consensus genome sequence (4404 nt, 43.31% GC content) was assembled using CLC Main Workbench v6.9.1 (Qiagen, Germany). This sequence includes the coding-complete region (3665 nt) along with the 5’ and 3’ untranslated regions.This dataset includes the raw Sanger sequencing data generated through one-step RT-PCR. The archive includes:.ab1 Files: Raw Chromatogram Trace Data from Capillary Electrophoresis..txt files: Base-called sequences are exported from chromatogram analysis software, available in either FASTA or plain text format.High-throughput sequencing (HTS) reads generated in parallel are available under BioProject SRR34505500. The assembled sequence has been deposited in GenBank under accession number PV911203.This dataset facilitates the molecular characterization of IxYMV-2 and is provided to ensure transparency and enable independent verification.

title: Terry Duddy, A Medic's Story of Vietnam

description: [profile bio] Terrance Duddy was born in Coldwater, Michigan where he was raised by his mother and father on their farm. Growing up in Michigan, Mr. Duddy was not exposed to many Asian people or diverse cultures. After graduating high school, Mr. Duddy didn't have very many choices as his peers tended to have a negative influence on his studies growing up. Thus, Mr. Duddy turned to military service and enlisted into the army, as he saw this as a way to further his life and fulfill his duty as a good American citizen. When enlisted, Mr. Duddy was given the option of going to West Point Military Academy, but declined because of the long-term commitment it involved to the United States military. With this refusal to enroll to West Point, he was then sent to Vietnam where he preformed his duties of a medic, after he had received training from the military. While in Vietnam, Mr. Duddy did his best to perform his duties to excellence, while trying to keep his sanity. Even with the widespread use of drugs and prostitutes by the American soldiers, Mr. Duddy did not indulge those vices that were present during the war. However, due to the extent of his service and the obvious pressure of war he did reach out to those mediums as a way to relieve his stress from time to time. After Mr. Duddy's service in the military, he found himself in Southern California where he eventually chose to enroll into school. While attending college he took particular interest in acting, which occurred completely by accident. With this newfound love, he spent 20 years on the sets of small budget productions and commercial shoots. However, Mr. Duddy soon realized that part of his success in acting was accredited to the fact that he has developed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In fact, the reason why it took Mr. Duddy to realize that he was no longer the same person as before the was was due to the little known medical knowledge of the disorder around the time period of the War in Vietnam. Thus, with our knowledge of Mr. Duddy possessing PTSD our interview was largely controlled by his needs and preferences, as we did not want to invoke and alienate his condition. However, at the end of our interview, our group was pleased with both the information extracted from Mr. Duddy and the natural feel of the interaction between us. Today, Mr. Duddy is employed at American Legion where he works to educate the public of the many suppressed details of the War in Vietnam. In addition, given Mr. Duddy's conditions and with many soldiers currently living with PTSD, he actively reaches out to those in need of help, and works endlessly to assist veterans find ways to live their lives without being controlled by PTSD.
