Identifying the genes underlying natural resistance and susceptibility to infection and characterizing gene products and their interactions to reconstruct pathways that go awry during certain viral infections.
Identifying the genes underlying natural resistance and susceptibility to infection and characterizing gene products and their interactions to reconstruct pathways that go awry during certain viral infections.
RESEARCH RELEVANCE
The results have implications for identifying individuals at risk of developing disease following exposure to viruses, and for the design of anti-viral therapies.
