Virogenomics:

Paper Summary:

This is a highly specialized -- in-depth paper on Virogenomics , the deciphering of the viral genome sequence. The author looks at statistics, provides charts and graphs and traces the history of this fascinating new field.

From the Paper:

"Influenza, HIV, Hepatitus, Herpes simplex, and cytomegalovirus are just some of the many examples of viral diseases that plague our global population today. Primitive efforts to control these viruses have mostly focused on the split product and surface antigen vaccines. Although these vaccines have proved to be helpful in initiating the immune response against these viruses, whether it be healthy adults, or elderly people with medical conditions, the coverage is often low. Viruses quickly mutate, and there are often different strains circulating, so most of the time, these types of vaccines may or may not provide any protection against these viruses."
