Title

Retrovirus Simulation Application

Creator

Sideridis, Panagiotis

Abstract

My project is an application to study and simulate the replication functions of common Retroviruses and viruses. It uses scientific data from popular scientific and biology databases like https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov such as viruse’s genomes and the scientific library of Biopython to simulate. It creates and presents the new RNA chain of the virus after the infection and the transcription process and its protein chain after the infection. It also showcases a pseudo-statistical analysis of the DNA mutation of the infected organism by taking into account the real-life mutation ratio of the specific virus. Whilst, this program is just a demo and with not much scientific evidence, I believe that with the correct scientific direction and experience of Dr. Valahas it could be something valuable in the future.
