Comparative Analysis of Deep Mutational Scanning Datasets in Enteroviruses A and B Identifies Functional Divergence and Therapeutic Targets
Deep mutational scanning (DMS) can define functional constraints acting on viral proteomes by quantifying the effects of mutations on viral fitness. However, DMS analyses do not discern type-specific ...

Latest #virology research from the lab! 👇

Using genetic approaches and live-cell imaging, we show that the viral 2A protease plays a critical role in subverting antiviral responses and establishing a favorable host environment to expedite enterovirus replication.
