Tamiflu-resistant influenza: Parsing the genome for the culprits

(Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) It doesn't take long for the flu virus to outsmart Tamiflu. EPFL scientists have developed a tool that reveals the mutations that make the virus resistant, and they have identified new mutations that may render ineffective one of the few treatments currently available on the market. Their research is published in PLOS Genetics.
