Chromosomal crossover

Chromosomal crossover, or crossing over, is the exchange of genetic material during sexual reproduction between two homologous chromosomes' non-sister chromatids that results in recombinant chromosomes.

See Recombinant virus and Chromosomal crossover

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix.

See Recombinant virus and DNA

Encephalitis

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain.

See Recombinant virus and Encephalitis

Gene therapy

Gene therapy is a medical technology that aims to produce a therapeutic effect through the manipulation of gene expression or through altering the biological properties of living cells.

See Recombinant virus and Gene therapy

Homologous recombination

Homologous recombination is a type of genetic recombination in which genetic information is exchanged between two similar or identical molecules of double-stranded or single-stranded nucleic acids (usually DNA as in cellular organisms but may be also RNA in viruses).

See Recombinant virus and Homologous recombination

Influenza

Influenza, commonly known as "the flu" or just "flu", is an infectious disease caused by influenza viruses.

See Recombinant virus and Influenza

Mutation

In biology, a mutation is an alteration in the nucleic acid sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA.

See Recombinant virus and Mutation

Nucleic acid

Nucleic acids are large biomolecules that are crucial in all cells and viruses.

See Recombinant virus and Nucleic acid

Pandemic

A pandemic is an epidemic of an infectious disease that has a sudden increase in cases and spreads across a large region, for instance multiple continents or worldwide, affecting a substantial number of individuals.

See Recombinant virus and Pandemic

Reassortment

Reassortment is the mixing of the genetic material of a species into new combinations in different individuals. Recombinant virus and Reassortment are influenza.

See Recombinant virus and Reassortment

Recombinant DNA

Recombinant DNA (rDNA) molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination (such as molecular cloning) that bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in the genome.

See Recombinant virus and Recombinant DNA

RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule that is essential for most biological functions, either by performing the function itself (non-coding RNA) or by forming a template for the production of proteins (messenger RNA).

See Recombinant virus and RNA

Vaccine

A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious or malignant disease.

See Recombinant virus and Vaccine

Virus

A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.

See Recombinant virus and Virus

Western equine encephalitis virus

The Western equine encephalomyelitis virus is the causative agent of relatively uncommon viral disease Western equine encephalomyelitis (WEE).
