How mRNA Technology Could Change the World
- passivate 6y ago>Chinese researchers published the genetic sequence of the virus. Moderna’s mRNA vaccine recipe was finalized in about 48 hours. Maybe it was 'finalized' (whatever that means) in 48 hours, but this article gives a more accurate picture: https://cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/vaccines/tiny-tweak-behind-COVID-19/98/i38 https://cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/vaccines/tiny-tweak-behi... >Moderna and Graham’s lab also had a template to work from because they’d spent several years designing an experimental mRNA vaccine for the MERS coronavirus.
