背景情况:
- 马雷克病 (MD) 是对家禽的重大经济威胁,由马雷克病病毒 (MDV) 引起.
- MDV表现出不同的毒性,分为病型:轻度 (m),毒性 (v),非常毒性 (vv) 和非常毒性加 (vv+).
- 之前的研究已经确定了MDV基因组中的潜在的毒性相关单核酸多态 (SNP) 和基因.
研究的目的:
- 在八个开放式读取框架 (ORF) 中实验验验证特定非同义SNP (nsSNP) 对MDV毒性的贡献.
- 调查是否已识别的nsSNP足以改变MDV的毒性病理型.
主要方法:
- 通过用vMDV菌株中发现的核酸替换vv+MDV菌株686的基因组修饰.
- 在中进行致病性研究,以评估基因组修改对MD发病率和鸟类存活率的影响.
- 使用已确定的方法对改性MDV菌株的病毒性病态定型.

Viral Recombination
23.5K
Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.

Viral Mutations
32.3K
A mutation is a change in the sequence of bases of DNA or RNA in a genome. Some mutations occur during replication of the genome due to errors made by the polymerase enzymes that replicate DNA or RNA. Unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase is prone to errors because it is not capable of “proofreading” its work. Viruses with RNA-based genomes, like HIV, therefore accrue mutations faster than viruses with DNA-based genomes. Because mutation and recombination provide the raw material...
