OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
"Structure and assembly in the order Picornavirales"
The order Picornavirales comprises of several virus families which infect humans, animals and insects. Even though all viruses in this order are icosahedrally-symmetric and are made of three capsid proteins, there are several distinct features found in their capsids. Additionally, the capsid assembly was thought to be conserved across virus families. However, our recent work suggests otherwise.
I will discuss two examples, human parechovirus (family: Picornaviridae) and norovirus (family: Dicistoviridae) from the order Picornavirales whose structures and assemblies do not follow not so common path.
