 In the beginning was Genetics, the understanding of how phenotype was passed from one generation to the next. The term Reverse Genetics was coined when people began to clone individual genes and sought understanding of the molecular underpinning of the phenotypes found in nature. Reverse Genetics of viruses has come to mean systems in which a manipulable copy of the viral genome can be used to generate new viruses. Great strides have been made in our understanding of viruses using these techniques, and many new ways of using them have been found. This meeting will bring together several of the leading scientists using these techniques to present their latest work, with particular emphasis on the negative strand RNA viruses.
We seek CPD accreditation from the IBMS for all our meetings
