Leung <br />Department of Zoology, The University of Hong Kong<br /><br />ABSTRACT:<br />Our laboratory has been interested in the molecular and evolution of RNA viruses for the past few years, specifically the SARS- CoV and veterinary infectious diseases viruses including the chicken infectious bursa disease virus (IBDV), influenza, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Disease Virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2). Using the viral genome sequences generated from samples we collected from human, chicken and pig farms, we can study the rate of virus evolution, time of origin and divergence, population genetics, and origin of the genome re-assortment. My presentation aims at using molecular genetic sequencing data to tell a story, particularly related to the viruses found in our local chicken and pig farms!0duncan.mchugh@ubc.ca (The Learning Centre)http://ubclfslcpodcast.blogspot.com/2006/05/ubc-farm-symposium-podcast-preview.htmlTue, 2 May 2006 10:11:00 -0700tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19491739.post-114659041025960586This is a preview of the UBC Farm Symposium podcast.

The recording's a little quiet, so watch out for sudden bursts of applause, which can sound quite loud. The presenters are UBC VP Academic Dr Lorne Whitehead and Dr Art Bomke.0duncan.mchugh@ubc.ca (The Learning Centre)http://ubclfslcpodcast.blogspot.com/2006/02/ubc-lfs-community-meeting-february.htmlFri, 24 Feb 2006 16:42:00 -0800tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19491739.post-114082830702181712The February Community Meeting for UBC's Faculty of Land & Food Systems.
