Editor’s Selections: Species diversity and disease risk, origin of hepatitis C virus, and DNA mimicry in a transposon
August 28th, 2009 Editor's Selections No Comments
I’m Vincent Racaniello, a biology editor at researchblogging.org. Each week I highlight several notable posts from molecular and cellular biology and virology. My musings on viruses, viral disease, and viral vaccines can be found at virology blog.
- How a possum (and other wildlife) might save you from Lyme disease
- Hepatitis C virus could have originated in Guinea-Bissau around 1470
- A transposon avoids destruction in bacteria by encoding a protein that mimics DNA
I’ll be back next Friday with more selections.
