A seminar in the Research Institute Seminar Series
Viruses must achieve a number of functions in their lifecycles, often using compact genomes. Dr. Ollmann Saphire's laboratory has discovered that Ebola virus extends the functional complexity of its seven-gene genome by rearranging at least one of its transcribed polypeptides into different structures, with each distinct protein structure conferring a separate and essential function in the virus lifecycle.
