A team of researchers from the UK and Poland have mapped the expression of genes across the entire African Swine Fever virus (ASFv) genome. That has helped to establish their order of activation as well as uncovering new genes.

The researchers are connected to the University College London (UCL), the Pirbright Institute and the University of Warsaw, Poland, and had their research published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Virology.
Pride could be read in the abstract of the research article. They authors wrote: “Here we present the first much-needed genome-wide transcriptome study that provides unique insight into ASFv transcription and serves as a resource to aid future functional analyses of ASFv genes which are essential to combat this devastating disease.”
