Abstract

One of the main feature of Ebola virus is that Ribonucleic acid (RNA) plays more significant part instead Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) similarly as its hereditary material. When RNA is mirrored, many more mistakes are made than when DNA is mimicked.

Summary

Introduction

One of the main feature of Ebola virus is that Ribonucleic acid (RNA) plays more significant part instead Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) as its hereditary material. When RNA is mirrored, many more mistakes are made than when DNA is mimicked [1]. This activates viruses like the Ebola viruses a predominantly high mutation rate when distinguished to DNA based viruses like smallpox or chickenpox. Too many mutations of this sort could render standard tests inaccurate, making it harder to diagnose Ebola infections and hampering the medical community’s ability to treat and contain the virus. Changes such as these could block vaccine development and therapies for treating the disease (Figure 1) [1]
