However, the advances of biotechnology and next-generation sequencing technologies have accelerated novel virus discovery, identification, sequencing, and manipulation, showing that they present unique characteristics that place them as valuable tools for a wide variety of biotechnological applications. Many applications of viruses have been used for agricultural purposes, namely concerning plant breeding and plant protection. Nevertheless, it is interesting to mention that plants have also many advantages to be used in vaccine production, such as the low cost and low risks they entail, showing once more the versatility of the use of viruses in biotechnology. Although it will obviously never be ignored that viruses are responsible for devastating diseases, it is clear that the more they are studied, the more possibilities they offer to us. They are now on the front line of the most revolutionizing techniques in several fields, providing advances that would not be possible without their existence. In this book there are presented studies that demonstrate the work developed using viruses in biotechnology. These studies were brought by experts that focus on the development and applications of many viruses in several fields, such as agriculture, the pharmaceutical industry, and medicine. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aAAV 610 $aadeno-associated virus 610 $aadeno-associated virus (AAV) vector 610 $aapple latent spherical virus vector 610 $aaspect ratio 610 $abacmid 610 $aBacteriophage 610 $abaculovirus 610 $abiocontrol 610 $abioreactor 610 $abreeding of grapevine 610 $acancer 610 $acancer gene therapy 610 $acancers 610 $acarotenoid biosynthesis 610 $achemokines 610 $achikungunya virus 610 $acircular RNA 610 $aclodronate 610 $acodon harmonization 610 $acodon optimization 610 $acomparative genomics 610 $aCOVID-19 610 $aCOVID-19 vaccines 610 $aCPMV 610 $aCRISPR 610 $aCRISPR-cas9 610 $aCRISPR/Cas systems 610 $aCRISPR/Cas9 610 $adiagnosis 610 $aDNA-based vaccines 610 $aenhancer 610 $aEscherichia coli 610 $aexpression vectors 610 $ageminivirus 610 $agene editing 610 $agene expression 610 $agene therapy 610 $agenome editing 610 $agenome stability 610 $agrapevine 610 $aheterologous expression 610 $ahydrothermal vent 610 $aHypnocyclicus thermotrophus 610 $aimmunization 610 $ainfectious bursal disease virus 610 $ainfectious diseases 610 $ainsect cells 610 $ajaagsiekte sheep retrovirus (JSRV) 610 $aLTR 610 $alytic cassette 610 $amacrophage 610 $ananotechnology 610 $aNewcastle disease virus 610 $aphage diversity 610 $aphages 610 $apig 610 $aplant genome engineering 610 $aplant virus 610 $aporcine epidemic diarrhea virus 610 $aprevention 610 $aprophage 610 $aprotein expression 610 $aPVX 610 $arecombinant Lactococcus lactis 610 $areduced generation time 610 $areverse genetics 610 $aRNA-based vaccines 610 $aSalmonella 610 $aSARS-CoV-2 610 $aself-replicating RNA vectors 610 $atheranostics 610 $aTMV 610 $aTn7 610 $atransduction 610 $atreatment 610 $avaccine 610 $avaccines 610 $avariant strain 610 $aviral resistance 610 $aviral vaccines 610 $aviral vector 610 $aviral vectors 610 $aviroid 610 $avirus elimination 610 $avirus-induced flowering 610 $avirus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) 610 $aviruses 610 $aVLP 610 $aVLPs 610 $aVNPs 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aVaranda$b Carla$4edt$01302211 702 $aMateratski$b Patrick$4edt 702 $aVaranda$b Carla$4oth 702 $aMateratski$b Patrick$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557363903321 996 $aThe Application of Viruses to Biotechnology$93026255 997 $aUNINA
