PS - I really like the comments you have on here already - good

stuff about FMDV!

This is a really good animation of protein synthesis:

It would be a good thing to watch before I visit the school (hopefully very soon!).

Where do we find the ribosomes, mRNA and DNA?

Why is mRNA used?

WHy doesn't DNA come out of the nucleus directly?

What does this mean for the animal?

What does it mean for the farmer?

What do they look like?

How do they work?

What was the cost to the ecomony of the Foot and Mouth Outbreak?

What was the cost to the farmimg community?

What about about rare breed sheep and cattle - what did it mean for these farmers?

What was the emotional impact on the people living near the burning zone?

Foot and mouth is a disease that affects cattle and other animals

like sheep and goats. But also can affect...... HUMANS!

you can take vaccination to stop you from getting a virus makes you immune to it

This is a image of a virus, some viruses are very dangerous while others arent  as much. a virus might be small but it could do alot of harm to many living things.

The foot and mouth disease virus is the pathogen that causes foot and mouth disease it is a picornavarius, the prototypical member of the Aphthovirus genus.

Pathogen means: a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease

a virus can infect different types of living things, For example: Animals, humans, plants and Bacteria.

A virus is a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of other organisms. Viruses can infect all types of life forms, from animals, plants and bacteria.

Gene expression in viruses - dirty tricks and
  sleight of hand!

# data[].attributes.body
Viruses are remarkable organisms, parasitising our cells and turning them into factories for the production of more viruses.

To do this they hijack the machinery of the cell to read the viruses' own genetic code. Viruses are also very efficient in terms of information storage, and they often have unusual strategies for how their genes are read.

In this project the team will a) learn about how viruses take over cells and direct production of their own proteins, and b) to carry out experiments to examine and dissect this.

A key part of this will be for the team to design their own artificial gene, which will allow us to examine one particular trick that the foot-and-mouth disease virus uses to express its genes (don't worry, no virus will be used!).

The gene will be chemically synthesized, cloned and then the team will examine its expression.
