    Thank you for that Dr Racniello. I'll be watching those tomorrow. 😀 Should be fun.

    Thanks for sharing Prof. Racaniello. I posted this on my blog so I think you should expect some Dutch viewers.

    greetings Crypto

    Thanks. Just a comment, you mentioned that circular genomes are exclusive of viruses (8:08 min of Intro to Virology II lecture).

    Thanks! I particularly like “basiscursus virologie voor dummies”.

    Thanks for pointing that out. What I meant to say is that the
    chromosomal/nuclear DNA of mammals is not circular; but of course
    there are other circular DNAs in many places.

    These videos are fascinating. I'm going to try and go through this whole virology “course” here, hopefully it'll give me an advantage when I actually take Virology-related courses later in college.
    I wish you could talk at one of my university's Pathobiology Seminars about your poliovirus research. I would mark that day on my calender, for sure.

    ” The study of virus, above all other fields of science, is one in which complexity is used to disguise the truth or to evade the truth, not to reveal it.”

    great lecture! I’ve sat for 6 hours of virology lectures this semester and have learned more through just the first part of your lecture!…my lecturer should learn from this!..can’t wait to watch the rest!

    Very good lecture, I’ve watched the 1st part yet and I find it very interesting. But there’s one thing that I didn’t understand, what do you mean by “Most viral genomes do not encode protein synthesis machinery”. Thank’s great professor.

  14. profvrr says

    The host translation machinery consists of ribosomes, tRNAs,
    initiation, elongation, and termination proteins, and aminoacyl-tRNA
    synthetases. No viral genome encodes a complete translation system.
    Some viral genomes (large DNA viruses) encode parts of it, such as
    aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases.

    Dear Profvrr, Great lecture for this viral host!  A bit over my head due to the massive amounts of information.  Hopefully after review more will stick to this ME/CFS patient.  Thanks you, AJB

    Hi are these videos still available? I did a quick search in youtube since I can’t get them to load from here but I could only see your newer ones. I’m looking for a brief overview and the your courses on youtube are a bit too in depth for me.

    Hello All, Did anyone have a hard time viewing these videos. If so can you tell me how you were able to get it to work. I tried two different browsers and still doesnt want to play for me.

    I update the lecture videos each year at virology.ws/course

    I’ve updated the link to virology.ws/course, where the lectures are updated every year.
