“This new H1N1 virus contained a unique combination of influenza genes not previously identified in animals or people.” NSW Health has put out some helpful information about preparing for an influenza ...

In the near future, gene silencing against influenza viruses may also be successfully applied in antiviral therapeutics. There are several bottlenecks in the successful application of gene ...

Is there a connection between bird flu and microRNA, the tiny bits of RNA which have different tasks in regulating genes and producing the body's building blocks? "MicroRNA is quite stable ...

or that seasonal influenza vaccines have some protective value. So far, sequencing of H5N1 viruses from US cases has shown no changes in the HA gene associated with increased infectiousness or ...

Recent influenza research into the genes of the Spanish flu virus shows it to have genes adapted to both birds and humans; with more of its genes from birds than less deadly later pandemic strains.
