Selection versus mutation: Reducing the risk of vaccine reversion. Infectious bronchitis virus strain:M41-CK

Vaccination against numerous endemic pathogens is an essential component of the poultry industry. Without these vaccines chickens would succumb to infection at an early age reducing the productivity of the industry well below sustainable levels. this project uses high throughput sequence data to identify genomic markers of attenuation that occur during the process of attenuation in-ovo.
