Once you get the plasmids inside the cell, the virus assembles itself. It only takes a couple of days.
brought chill deadly knew parts spine
It brought a chill down my spine because I knew that I had this deadly virus. I didn't have the whole thing, but I knew I had parts of it.
block genes given good happens identify mechanism might pathology perhaps represents target useful
Given that HA is responsible for so much pathology in the lung, if we could identify the mechanism for how that happens and then block it, perhaps it would be useful for antiviral development. With the identification of the polymerase genes contributing to disease, that represents another set of genes that might also be a good target for prophylactic and therapeutic interventions.
