چکیده
One of the communication tools of the EC-funded Biosafenet project is a series of six Biosafenet Seminars that will be held 2007–2009. Their purpose is to convene small groups of scientists to consider emerging issues related to the potential impact of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The first Seminar was organized by the ICGEB at the MasterCampus of the Fondazione Cassamarca in Ca’ Tron di Roncade (Italy) on 6th–8th June 2007, and focused on the potential impact of both naturally occurring and transgenic viral sequences in plant genomes.

Introduction: Influenza is a contagious acute viral disease of the respiratory tract that causes fever, headache, muscle aches and cough. One of the unique features of influenza virus is antigenic variation in viral protein neuraminidase (NA) which causes emergence of new virus variants. NA is responsible for the release and spread of progeny virions. Due to the continuous changes of NA genes, ...
