The Search for Novel DNA Viruses in Alzheimer’s Disease Brains
This project explores the potential viral origins of Alzheimer's disease, focusing on discovering novel viruses within the Circoviridae family. By constructing a comprehensive database of a conserved protein sequence known as the Jelly Roll hallmark structure, the research aims to uncover new insights into how these viruses might contribute to Alzheimer's pathology using bioinformatics tools.
