I am a student of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, I find myself glued to this Virology lectures because i think he's telling everything i need to know about molecular Biology... Thank You Prof. Vincent
Thanks so much for posting these lectures. A week ago I knew almost nothing about virology, I am now on lecture 9 and pleased that I keep passing the multiple choice tests.
You said Hepadnaviruses run out of dNTPs during construction. Does this mean the length is always variable? Is there a chance that some virus particles cannot complete it's length due to lack of a certain base? Will this disable the particle?
How come the retroviral DNA integration into bacterial genomes, also called CRISPR, is thought to provide immunity for bacterial against the viruses, yet in humans the same phenomenon is thought to cause potential diseases?
Thank you very much Prof. for the beautiful lecture! I was wondering, is it known why the RT of Hepadnaviruses starts that early, unlike other retroviruses? In other words, why this phenomenon does not happen in other retroviruses? Many thanks !
Hi ! Around 29:50 you mention an animation about reverse transcription that you made. I'm wondering, is it publicly available, and if it is, where could I find it ? Thanks in advance
Thank you, Dr. I watched you lectures on and off for 4 years now. It is wonderful that you have the passion to teach and the generosity to post.

Thank you. My brain has melted watching this and at times i day dreamed and played back but I got the point. highly appreciated.
Wow. All I can say is wow. I never even had an inkling how important this topic is.
Highly appreciated for posting these lectures on you tube. They are very helpful for reviewing the already learnt content.

I am finding your lectures invaluable, thank you so much
These presentations are just fantastic
46:30 would this also be applicable to Covid19?

Retroelements in germline sounds like a promising material for a scifi movie/book!

Link to the animation is on slide 25, here it is: ua-cam.com/video/RYwVnzYf4V8/v-deo.html
Oh right I did not see that one, I maybe was paying to much attention to the schematics! Thanks a lot
Just a really quick question I know it's simple but how would I manipulate the time
Do you think it would make any difference to us if we were able to remove all the retro virus elements in our genome?
Do the koala retroviruses cause any harm or adaptive benefit to the infected animals?
They immunosuppressive the koalas, they get chlamydial infections and many die. So not a good situation.
@@MicrobeTV oh , thanks professor.
@@MicrobeTV ouch
Wait what. So mRNA can be reverse transcribed IN THE CELL? Someone help me.
thank you, awesome. I was reading about Adeno Associated Virus, is Integration the key method used to modify genes ?
