Background The antibiotic minocycline has neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties that could prevent or reverse progressive neuropathic changes implicated in recent-onset schizophrenia. In the BeneMin study, we aimed to replicate the bene...

RNA virus fidelity mutants: a useful tool for evolutionary biology or a complex challenge? (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). RNA virus fidelity mutants: a useful tool for evolutionary biology or a complex challenge?. Viruses, https://doi.org/10.3390/v10110600

RNA viruses replicate with low fidelity due to the error-prone nature of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which generates approximately one mutation per round of genome replication. Due to the large population sizes produced by RNA viruses during re... Read More about RNA virus fidelity mutants: a useful tool for evolutionary biology or a complex challenge?.
