And the total genetic content of the virus is called the viral genome.

病毒的全部遗传物质被称为病毒基因组。

These will help replicate the viral genome, so more viruses can be created.

这将有助于病毒基因组的复制，从而产生更多的病毒。

For example, Britain does more testing of the changing viral genome than the United States does.

比如，英国对变异病毒基因组的测试量要大于美国。

The most commonly prescribed ones prevent the viral genome from being copied and incorporated into a host cell's DNA.

最常用的那些临床药物可以阻止病毒的基因复制并合并入宿主细胞DNA。

Ana Duggan's team recovered fragments of DNA from the kits, piecing together the viral genomes that were in those old vaccines.

安娜·达根的团队复原了工具箱上的DNA碎片，并将旧疫苗中的病毒基因组拼凑在一起。

A virion consists of a protein coat called a capsid, surrounding a nucleic acid core which contains the genetic material or the viral genome.

病毒粒子具有称为" 衣壳" 的蛋白外壳，包绕着含有遗传物质或病毒基因组的核心（核酸）。

Now the viruses are surrounded by an outer-protein coating called capsid, which protects the viral genome and aids in its transfer between host cells.

此时，病毒被衣壳包裹着；衣壳保护着病毒基因组，协助病毒在宿主细胞之间传播。

The capsid is surrounding a nucleic acid core which contains the genetic material or the viral genome which can be either DNA or RNA.

衣壳包裹着核心（核酸），其包含遗传物质，或者说病毒基因组，可以是DNA或RNA。

And therefore, its immune system needs to destroy the viral genome.

因此，它的免疫系统需要摧毁病毒基因组。

The viral genomes are usually small and contain only a few genes that encode for proteins needed by the virus that's not present in the host cell.

病毒基因组通常很小，并且只包含少量编码病毒所需蛋白质的、且宿主细胞中不存在的基因。

If that happens, the two different viral genomes can recombine in tens or even hundreds of ways.

如果发生这种情况，这两种不同的病毒基因组可以以数十种甚至数百种方式重组。

In fact, research of all the publicly available viral genome sequences produced a surprising result: humans give about two times as many viruses to animals than they give to us.

事实上，对所有公开的病毒基因组序列的研究得出了一个惊人的结果：人类传播给动物的病毒是动物传播给人类的两倍。

A virus in the extracellular state is called a virion and consists of a protein coat called a capsid which protects the viral genome and aids in its transfer between host cells.

处于细胞外状态的病毒称为病毒粒子有称为" 衣壳" 的蛋白质外壳；衣壳保护着病毒基因组，并协助病毒在宿主细胞间传播。

The most popular data-sharing platform,called GISAID,now hosts more than 450,000 viral genomes; Soumya Swaminathan,the chief scientist at the World Health Organization (WHO),has called it a " game changer" in the pandemic.

最受欢迎的数据共享平台 GISAID 现在拥有超过 450, 000 个病毒基因组；世界卫生组织 (WHO) 首席科学家苏米娅·斯瓦米纳坦 (Soumya Swaminathan) 称其为大流行病的“游戏规则改变者” 。
