Wherever possible, Biopython follows the conventions used by the Python programming language to make it easier for users familiar with Python. For example, Seq and SeqRecord objects can be manipulated via slicing, in a manner similar to Python's strings and lists. It is also designed to be functionally similar to other Bio* projects, such as ...
Metamorphic code techniques may be used to complicate detection further, as the virus may execute without ever having identifiable code blocks in memory that remains constant from infection to infection. The first known polymorphic virus was written by Mark Washburn. The virus, called 1260, was written in 1990.
Salmonella virus P22 is a bacteriophage in the Podoviridae family that infects Salmonella typhimurium. [1] Like many phages, it has been used in molecular biology to induce mutations in cultured bacteria and to introduce foreign genetic material. [2] P22 has been used in generalized transduction and is an important tool for investigating ...
Detection of viral RNA and DNA genomes can be performed using polymerase chain reaction. This technique makes many copies of the virus genome using virus-specific probes. Variations of PCR such as nested reverse transcriptase PCR and real time PCR can also be used to determine viral loads in patient serum.
Immunological methods using monoclonal antibodies can be used to detect indicator bacteria in water samples. Precultivation in select medium must preface detection to avoid detection of dead cells. ELISA antibody technology has been developed to allow for readable detection by the naked eye for rapid identification of coliform microcolonies.
Since Salmonella typically exhibit phase variation between two motile phenotypes, [3] different "H" antigens may be expressed. Salmonella that can express only one "H" antigen phase consequently have motile and non-motile phenotypes and are termed monophasic, whilst isolates that lack any "H" antigen expression are termed non-motile.

Metamorphic code is used by computer viruses to avoid the pattern recognition of anti-virus software.Metamorphic viruses often translate their own binary code into a temporary representation, editing the temporary representation of themselves and then translate the edited form back to machine code again.
