Molecular biology and virology
Gene manipulation technology is used in the study of aspects of gene expression and protein function in a variety of micro-organisms, including a number of important viruses. Molecular genetic analysis is also implemented in the diagnostics and taxonomy of various important groups of viruses, bacteria and fungi Research Output
