Archaeological Marek's disease virus genomes show how this highly virulent chicken virus evolved from an ancestor that was incapable of driving tumor formation Oxford Biology science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🚨 Ancient DNA has been used to trace the evolution of Marek's Disease Virus, a chicken disease which has become more deadly in recent history Widespread over 1000 years before being described scientifically, it previously caused much milder symptoms 👇 bit.ly/3v1rjCk

Studying ancient chickens, researchers in Science reveal the evolutionary history of Marek’s disease virus, which kills >90% of unvaccinated birds. The results shed light on the evolution of virulence in a major disease in modern agriculture. scim.ag/5jP

Last Friday we had 2 amazing talks from Steven Fiddaman and Marco De Martino. Thanks to all of you who joined us, and to them for their great job. Next month we will have a woolly themed session, with Damla Kaptan and audrey lin 👻 showing us their results.
