Geekwire: Researchers discover new avenue for fighting COVID-19, Ebola and other viral diseases
Researchers discover new avenue for fighting COVID-19, Ebola and other viral diseases.

The technique, described in this week’s issue of the journal Science, takes advantage of a screening technique for seeking out new genes that can prevent infection.
