Description for Viruses and the Nucleus
Paperback. Interdisciplinary in approach, this definitive text on viral/nuclear interactions illustrates how viruses (positive and negative DNA and RNA) interact with the nucleus and its components to further viral replication, and the resulting consequences for the host cell. Editor(s): Hiscox, Julian Alexander. Num Pages: 294 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PSGL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 181 x 18. Weight in Grams: 562.
Viruses have limited genome-coding capacities and must therefore rely on their host cells to facilitate every step of the infection cycle from the replication of their genomes, transcription and translation of mRNAs to virus assembly. Aimed at virologists and cell biologists Viruses and the Nucleus provides a comprehensive and cohesive overview of this fascinating and fast moving field. It compares and contrasts the ways in which DNA viruses, retroviruses and RNA viruses interact with the host cell nucleus to bring about replication and how they subvert the host cell function to proliferate and survive.
