(-: From http://www.broad.mit.edu/cgi-bin/news/display_news.cgi?id=159 The Genome Resources in Dengue (GRID) consortium brings together scientists from Broad's Microbial Sequencing Center and the global dengue research community. GRID scientists seek to understand how the virus interacts with its hosts and evolves under pressure from the human immune system. "We intend to illuminate how genomic diversity in the virus arose and how this variability relates to both the virus' evolutionary success and the array of disease outcomes in patients that result from infection," said Matthew Henn of the Broad Institute who spearheaded the formation of GRID and developed this project in collaboration with GRID scientists. _______________________________________________________________ Ian Foster www.mcs.anl.gov/~foster Math & Computer Science Div.
