Editorial: The role of genetics studies in the discovery of new viruses and in the analysis of pathogeny of viral infections

Following the development of the PCR and the internet in the early 80’s, the molecular revolution took off in the 90’s and by the new millennium most research was utilizing some variation of the technique and platform. Subsequently, the amount of information grew exponentially allowing the scientifi...
