DESCRIPTION:We have been studying the ways that retroviruses assemble them
 selves and have learned how the viral RNA is recognised and captured in th
 e infected cell by adopting a recognisable shape. Understanding this proce
 ss has led to us using these viruses for gene delivery purposes. We have e
 xtended our studies to rotaviruses and have begun to identify similar RNA 
 shapes which may have similar functions. This has extended into studying t
 he site in the cell that rotavirus replication occurs where have made nove
 l observations on the nature of the viroplasms\, or virus factories\, with
 in the infected cell and of ways with which to inhibit virus replication.
