The link to the Forbes article that you put
on the MCDE thread should probably be over here as well:
Do germs cause cancer?
forbes.com

The article also has me again wondering if my asthma
is a low level infection much of the time...

Also jogs my memory of another recent article, probably
over on Eureka, which discussed the discovery of copies
of portions of an ancient viral genome integrated into
the human genome in several locations.

Humans are quite an assortment of junk--and yet it
works so well most of the time. Natural selection
is the best gene therapy for the species I suppose.

Here is another interesting article, should probably
be on the GT thread...

Scientists discover how viruses hide inside human cells
"This tethering mechanism may give us clues that we
could use to develop more effective gene therapy vectors."
