TWiV 380: Viruses visible in le microscope photonique
Hosts:\xa0Vincent Racaniello,\xa0Dickson Despommier,\xa0Alan Dove, Rich Condit, and\xa0Kathy Spindler
\nThe TWiVeroos deliver the weekly Zika Report, then talk about a cryoEM structure of a plant virus that reveals how the RNA genome is packaged in the capsid, and MIMIVIRE, a CRISPR-like defense system in giant eukaryotic viruses.
