...influenza virus—equipped with only eight genes of its own—hijacks the genetic material of its host cell, infecting and utilizing the human genes to execute the virus’ own operations, according to Stephen J. Elledge, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and head of the lab in which the study took place. With this understanding, Elledge and his team systematically deactivated every gene in the human genome—testing some 20,000 different genes—using new RNA interference technology, hoping to determine the genes in the host cells that...

"Today, the Senate took another historic step toward our goal of delivering access to quality, affordable health care to all Americans," Senate Majority Leader Harry...
