File:ReverseGeneticsFlu.svg to appear as POTD soon

[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:ReverseGeneticsFlu.svg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 18, 2020. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2020-01-18. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks!

Reverse genetics
Reverse genetics is a method in molecular genetics that is used to help understand the function of a gene by analysing the phenotypic effects of specific nucleic acid sequences after being genetically engineered. The process usually proceeds in the opposite direction to so-called forward genetic screens of classical genetics. In other words, while forward genetics seeks to find the genetic basis of a phenotype or trait, reverse genetics seeks to find what phenotypes arise as a result of particular genetic sequences. For instance, such procedures allow scientists to manipulate the genomes of influenza viruses by transferring genes between different strains. The novel genotypes of the viruses produced in this way have greatly diminished pathogenic potency but can still induce protective immunity in a host. Using this technique, vaccines can be created, as illustrated in this diagram depicting the development of an avian flu vaccine.Diagram credit: Mouagip

History

[edit]

History is missing, in particular when the term was coined, and who was the first to coin it. I tried to get the timeline of reverse vaccinology correct, so I wanted to know when reverse genetics was first coined, but wikipedia did not answer this question. :( 2A02:8388:1641:8380:0:0:0:6 (talk) 13:36, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
