TWiV 1341: Phage breaks and COVID origins
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
TWiV explains research that reveals dual activity of a phage-encoded lysin that modulates infection dynamics in a mycobacteriophage, and refutes a proposed link between the SARS-CoV-2 furin cleavage site and mouse-adapted MERS-coronavirus MA30.
