Japanese researchers recently reported the use of the technology “Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) cloning,” which enabled the scientists to clone the entire genome of a virus in bacteria. The technique could be used to mass produce infectious equine herpesvirus-4 (EHV-4), allowing researchers to study differences in this and related viruses’ ability to cause disease. It might also “serve as a tool for production of biologically safe vaccines against EHV-1, EHV-4, or both” the authors noted. Continue reading…
