Methods used to identify SARS gene may help combat bioterrorism.
Byline: Tina Hesman
ST. LOUIS, Mo. _ A combination of new techniques that helped unmask the genetic identity of the SARS virus may help researchers mount defenses against bioterrorism.
In under a week, scientists at Washington University's Genome Sequencing Center in St. Louis determined more than 25,000 of the chemical units that make up the genome of the severe acute respiratory syndrome virus.
The feat may help cement the future of a planned center to combat bioterrorism and infectious diseases, researchers hope.
On April 4, Elaine Mardis, a co-director of the genome center, got a call from Joseph DeRisi, a researcher at the ...
