Harvard Cryo-EM Center Visualizes Viral Genome Ejection Into Human Cells

Viruses come in two major flavors — not chocolate and vanilla, quips Harvard Medical School structural biologist Stephen Harrison, but those enveloped in membranes, such as herpesvirus, influenza virus, HIV, and SARS-CoV-2, and those that are not, such as poliovirus, HPV, rotavirus, and adenovirus.
