Keynote Presentation: Single-cell virus sequencing of influenza infections that trigger innate immunity

Speaker

Abstract

Influenza infections are initiated by just a handful of virions infecting a handful of cells, so it is important to understand what happens in single infected cells. I will describe work that characterizes how the mutations in individual virions affect the outcome of infection in single cells.

Learning Objectives:

1. Explain what is measured during single cell transcriptomic experiments

2. Explain how mutations affect innate immune recognition of influenza infection
