SARS-CoV-2 killed millions and faltered global development; a pandemic emerging from seemingly nowhere. This underscores how blind we are to the viral-universe: in 130 years of research only 15,000 (~0.1%) of Earth’s RNA viruses were uncovered. Join Artem Babaian, PhD in Molecular Genetics and leader of the laboratory for RNA-Based Lifeforms (https://RNAlab.ca). His lab focuses on the discovery and biodiversity of Earth’s RNA viruses using state-of-the-art computational approaches.
