Some have isolated 3-4 apparently different viruses!<br /><br />We are working to purify the virus isolates. We are about half way through that process. The next step is to prepare Genomic DNA from the viruses in order to begin to characterize them. <br /><br />The General Biology students are certainly learning a lot about virology, microbiology, and soon molecular Biology! <br /><br />Congrats! Your hard work is paying off! Keep up the good work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16887633485441964306noreply@blogger.com
