Prof. David Baker, a protein research scientist at the University of Washington, founded the Foldit project.Seth Cooper was the lead game designer. Before starting the project, Baker and his laboratory coworkers relied on another research project named Rosetta [5] to predict the native structures of various proteins using special computer protein structure prediction algorithms.
Total DNA and/or RNA are extracted from the samples and are prepared on a DNA or RNA library for sequencing. [9] These methods have been used to sequence the whole genome of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and HCV , however, contaminating host nucleic acids can affect the sensitivity to the target viral genome with the proportion of reads related to ...
This is a list of mnemonics used in medicine and medical science, categorized and alphabetized. A mnemonic is any technique that assists the human memory with information retention or retrieval by making abstract or impersonal information more accessible and meaningful, and therefore easier to remember; many of them are acronyms or initialisms which reduce a lengthy set of terms to a single ...
The player controls a miniature "space ship" which shoots anti-virus and other variations of the weapon to try to contain the virus in that room. The virus in the game is a cellular automaton following the rules of Conway's Game of Life, with the exception that each cell is either a virus cell (green) or a clean cell (light blue). As new cells ...
RNA viruses generally have very high mutation rates compared to DNA viruses, [8] because viral RNA polymerases lack the proofreading ability of DNA polymerases. [9] The genetic diversity of RNA viruses is one reason why it is difficult to make effective vaccines against them. [ 10 ]
It is the first step of viral replication. Some viruses attach to the cell membrane of the host cell and inject its DNA or RNA into the host to initiate infection. Attachment to a host cell is often achieved by a virus attachment protein that extends from the protein shell (), of a virus.
Once a one-step RT-PCR kit with a mix of reverse transcriptase, Taq DNA polymerase, and a proofreading polymerase is selected and all necessary materials and equipment are obtained a reaction mix is to be prepared. The reaction mix includes dNTPs, primers, template RNA, necessary enzymes, and a buffer solution.
