Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Rasna R Walia"
- Rasna R Walia's research primarily focuses on the genetic diversity and transmission dynamics of influenza A viruses (IAV) in swine, emphasizing the impact of human interactions and the evolutionary patterns of these viruses in the United States over recent years.
- Key findings include the identification of novel strains such as H4N6 in pigs, the reassortment of human seasonal IAV genes in swine populations, and the significant economic implications of IAV infections in the swine industry, suggesting a need for effective vaccination strategies.
- Additionally, Walia has contributed to the study of protein-RNA interactions, developing computational methods for predicting RNA-binding residues which are crucial for understanding cellular processes and drug design.
