Vincent Racaniello’s blog has become one of my best sources for solid scientific information about a subject that I am all but clueless in; Virology.
His TWiV This Week in Virology podcasts are a particularly good way of catching up on what’s going on in the world of virology. They are fun and informative.
Today he takes on the reports out of Brazil yesterday that they had isolated a `mutation’ of the H1N1 virus.
Dr. Racaniello explores that claim in:

Readers of virology blog have no doubt seen news reports that a Brazilian influenza isolate called A/Sao Paulo/1454/2009 (H1N1) is novel strain with mutations that enable it to infect new hosts.
