8. Science News Article To tackle the new coronavirus, scientists are accelerating the vaccine process. References: SAEY, T. H. (2020). Vaccine scientists target coronavirus. Science News, 197(5). 6-7. http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx? ... AN=1419761 51&site chost-live&custid-s3740306 Read the article included in the link to answer the following questions 1. The genetic material in all organisms is DNA. However, viruses are the exception to this rule. The genetic material in the case of MERS and SARS is 2. Why it was important for Inovio to start the research for this new virus, why the vaccine developed for MERS would not be helpful in this case? 3. What is the new approach mentioned in the article, used by the companies to develop a vaccine? 4. The above procedure used by the companies falls under which field of Genetics? 6
5. In the regular process of gene expression DNA is transcribed into mRNA through the process of transcription. Then mRNA through the process of translation produces proteins. But in the process of making the vaccine scientist are converting the virus's RNA to DNA. What do you think this process is called? Can you think of an example, where this process is being currently used for SARS CoV-2 testing? 6. NIAID and Moderna are building the Novel vaccine using mRNA, explain the concept used in the development of this type of vaccine. 7. How are molecular clamp vaccines designed to work in the case of SARS COV-2?
