RNA Research
Researchers from University of Wisconsin report details of new studies and findings in the area of RNA research
September 17th, 2008
According to recent research from the United States, "All viruses rely on host cell proteins and their associated mechanisms to complete the viral life cycle. Identifying the host molecules that participate in each step of virus replication could provide valuable new targets for antiviral therapy, but this goal may take several decades to achieve with conventional forward genetic screening methods and mammalian cell cultures." "Here we describe a novel genome-wide RNA interference (RNAi) screen in Drosophila 1 that can be used to identify host genes important for influenza virus replication. After modifying influenza virus to allow infection of Drosophila cells and...
