CypA is a molecular barrier to HIV emergence from Eastern chimpanzees

Of the two lineages of lentivirus that endemically infect chimpanzees, only one has served as a source of infections in hu-mans. Using HIV-CRISPR screening, we identify factors that limit the replicat...

Hello Bluesky, I'm Molly. I'm a scientist interest in understanding how viruses infect cells, how cells fight back against infection and all the ways viruses evade host defenses. My lab is also here @ohainlelab.bsky.social. More to come from both myself and the lab so watch this space!
