Reverse Genetics of RNA Viruses provides a comprehensive account of the very latest developments in reverse genetics of RNA viruses through a wide range of applications within each of the core virus groups including; positive sense, negative sense and double stranded RNA viruses. Written by a team of international experts in the field, it provides a unique insight into how the field has developed, what problems are being addressed now and where applications may lead in the future. It will prove invaluable to bioscience, medical and veterinary students, those starting research in this area as well as other researchers and teachers needing to update their knowledge of this fast-moving field.
Dr Anne Bridgen, previously of The University of Ulster is a molecular virologist with extensive research and teaching experience. She was the first scientist to recover infectious virus particles from DNA clones of a segmented RNA virus. Dr Bridgen knows the field and its main players well and has both the knowledge and experience to bring individual expert contributions together around the common theme of reverse genetics.
She is currently providing consultancy for a BBSRC grant based at IAH Pirbright.
