The basis of this project is taking the multiple redundant codings for particular proteins and replacing them with a single coding, thus defeating viral replication strategies.

I can’t help thinking that if something exists in multiple redundant forms, there must be some kind of advantage which we just don’t know about yet. But I suppose this project is one way of finding out what that is.
