Thank you very much for sharing these lectures! If I may add, syncytin genes are with us for a long time, and marsupials have them too. The exact viral gene has been changed numerous times (hence it can be quite novel in the primate line without assuming that the ancestor of primates does not have it). Cornelis, G. et al. 2015. Retroviral envelope gene captures and syncytin exaptation for placentation in marsupials. PNAS 112(5): E487-E496. Lavialle, C. et al. 2013. Paleovirology of ‘syncytins’, retroviral env genes exapted for a role in placentation. Philos. Trans. R. Soc. London, Ser. B 368(1626).
Dear Prof. Racaniello, my playlist “Shorts with Mr. Covid” is a small contribution to the much-needed effort in Virology education. Since I teach behavioral neuroscience and not virology, would you mind if I link to your videos in the playlist? I wish all my students also take your course! Best wishes, Emanuel 👍.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge on viruses. It is very important to be informed to understand what we are been told by the media about COVID and be able to realize whether is true or false.

Awesome!
You mentioned an animation and provided a link in the slides. Can you provide that link here?
