Document Summary
Wasps (catesia congregate) lay eggs in the worms (manduca sexta) a specific virus (polydnavirus) for each wasp, 30,000 species of wasps. Polydnavirus injects into hemocytes to prevent them from destroying the eggs. The virus becomes the wasp, the genome expresses virus genes making it possible to package the virus. Placenta may have started with a virus (retrovirus rna virus that needs to have the rna converted to. Dna for the virus to integrate) was recognized that retroviral-like antigens were also expressed in the placenta. Primitive bacterial system to recognize an incoming bacteriophage. Based on one piece of rna that is homologous to a region of that of the bacteriophage dna. People use to recognize a piece of genome. There will be a non- homologous end joining. Deletion introduced during reparation done by the repair system. Can design plasmids that can repair a specific break and replace that specific dna. Blurs boundaries between viruses and parasitic cellular organisms.
