Genetics of the Microorganism (RABIES VIRUS) What is the overall mutation rate or general rate of antigenic shift seen in this organism? Does this organism undergo antigenic shift? If so, give examples. Does this virus incorporate its DNA into its host? If so, how does this affect the host? How are genetics used in the identification of this organism clinically?

To understand the genes responsible for growth and infectivity in a disease-causing bacterial strain, you perform chemical mutagenesis on a culture of these bacteria. In the course of your investigation into the properties of the resulting mutants, you identify a set of mutant bacteria that is still viable but their virulence is significantly impaired. How might these mutants be useful for vaccine development?
The haemoglobin proteins of RNA polymerase ii sub units RPB1-P24928 RPB2-P30876 RPB3-P19387 RPB4-015514 are they similar? Explain?
How were the structure of ACE2 and spike protein solved? describe the key processes involved in vaccine manufacturing. why is it easier to target a single mutant than a multiple mutants? why is SARS-CoV-2 so dangerous? summarise the key difference in the invasion of cell by: HIV, Adenovirus, Anthrax,SARS-CoV-2 and MERS What are the key players in the various mutants of spike proteins?
In the Western blot shown here, proteins were isolated from redblood cells and muscle cells from two different individuals. Oneindividual was unaffected, and the other suffered from a diseaseknown as thalassemia, which involves a defect in hemoglobin. Theblot was exposed to an antibody that recognizes β globin, whichis one of the polypeptides that constitute hemoglobin. Equal totalamounts of cellular proteins were added to each lane. Explain these results.
please help explain Influenza A virus M2 protein triggers mitochondrial DNA-mediated antiviral immune responses Cytosolic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) activates cGAS-mediated antiviral immune responses, but the mechanism by which RNA viruses stimulate mtDNA release remains unknown. Here we show that viroporin activity of influenza virus M2 or encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) 2B protein triggers translocation of mtDNA into the cytosol in a MAVS-dependent manner. Although influenza virus-induced cytosolic mtDNA stimulates cGAS- and DDX41- dependent innate immune responses, the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of influenza virus associates with mtDNA to evade the STING-dependent antiviral immunity. The STINGdependent antiviral signaling is amplified in neighboring cells through gap junctions. In addition, we find that STING-dependent recognition of influenza virus is essential for limiting virus replication in vivo. Our results show a mechanism by which influenza virus stimulates mtDNA release…
