T4 viruses with mutations in certain genes produce unassembled viral components. These particles are combined in the test tube in an effort to learn how the genes of a virus specify its shape By R ...

The T4 virus is a simple form of life with a precise architecture dictated by genes in its DNA molecule. By mapping the genes and learning their function one learns how the virus is put together ...

The team grew the cancer cells in an environment flush with bacteriophage T4, a common virus that preys on E. coli. Barr’s team then used a battery of antibodies, each of which binds to a ...
