Sentences with phrase «if virus sequences»

Not exact matches

You need the oligonucleotides to stitch genes together, and as far as I know, most companies will check the order if the sequence represents that of a dangerous virus.»

Joy: Yeah, but the point is we have the technology now to sequence and manufacture vaccines fairly quickly; and ideally they wouldn't be grown in eggs or whatever, right; because what if it starts as a virus in chickens or something, and we're screwed.

We have a short time period, and so we do about a billion experiments at a time, where we can genetically engineer our viruses to express different random peptide sequences and we can, you know, [in] about a one microliter sample we can introduce about a billion different viruses to a semiconductor wafer or an electrode and have them see if they can actually molecularly imprint it or try to do a chemical and physical map to it so that they can actually then have a template to grow that material.

Genome sequencing of specimens from both Canada and Mexico will help us to understand if the virus has mutated which may help us to explain the increased severity of the cases in Mexico.

In flu surveillance, researchers look primarily for the genes encoding the virus's surface proteins, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase; if they sequence the so - called internal genes as well, they might detect new genes slipping into human virus strains in the run - up to a pandemic, they say.

That MLV sequence, highly conserved among viruses of its class, would presumably have been found if XMRV was present, they said.

These assassins can read the RNA sequence of any virus DNA they run into, recognize if it matches the information they've stored in their DNA, trap it and chop it up.

«This useful contribution underlines the value of routine surveillance of Zika and other emerging viruses: we can learn a lot from genome sequencing but that can happen only if surveillance systems are in place to detect and sequence the viruses.

Recent sequencing projects investigating virus diversity, to see if different strains have different disease impacts, have excluded regions of repeating sequence, as they are more technically challenging.

Even scarier is what Edward Dubovi, Ph.D., director, Virology Laboratory Animal Health Diagnostic Center, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, said: «We are sequencing all the time to determine if the H3N2 virus diverges into different clades (almost like substrains of flu).
