A potential drawback of recent antiviral therapies based on the transgenic expression of artificial microRNAs is the ease with which viruses may generate escape mutations. Using a variation of the classic Luria-Delbrück fluctuation assay, we estimated that the spontaneous mutation rate in the artificial microRNA (amiR) target of a plant virus was ca. 6 × 10(-5) per replication event.

In this paper we propose a distributed, replicated block device for The Grid based on the the replication algorithm of Y. Amir[1]. The end goal is to support application-specified semantics, both wrt. replication strategy and the consistency model used for reads and writes. We list the proposed features of the Grid Block Device and discuss various methods of implementation.
