Suffice it to say that it is not just because they have invented technologies that belong to the space age, including use of viruses as vehicles to shuttle genes into cells[1], organic nanoparticles with specific tools attached to their surfaces to get inside target cells[2], and using genetically modified viruses as therapies to fight against cancer[3]. The EVBC aims to develop bioinformatical tools for nearly all areas: (1) for detection of viruses, e.g., from high-throughput sequencing data; (2) virus assembly; (3) quasispecies reconstruction; (4) intravira |
