Reverse vaccinology is defined as the process of vaccine development where the novel antigens of a virus or organism are identified by analyzing the genomic information of that particular organism or virus. In reverse vaccinology, various tools of bioinformatics are used for identifying the novel antigens useful for vaccine development by dissecting the genome as well as for studying the genetic makeup of a pathogen. 3, record 2, English, - reverse%20vaccinology

La vaccinologie inverse identifie des gènes exploitables. Une fois identifiés, les gènes «exploitables» peuvent être combinés entre eux, puis introduits dans un organisme capable de se multiplier rapidement – une levure par exemple –, afin de produire des candidats antigènes. Ces derniers seront ensuite triés en fonction de leur aptitude à susciter des réponses immunitaires protectrices. 2, record 2, French, - vaccinologie%20inverse

Bioforensics, which is sometimes referred to as microbial forensics, or as forensic microbiology, is a developing interdisciplinary field of microbiology devoted to the development, assessment, and validation of methods for fully characterizing microbial samples for the ultimate purpose of high-confidence comparative analyses. It supports attribution investigations involving pathogens or toxins of biological origin used in a biological attack. 2, record 3, English, - microbial%20forensics

... the ultimate goal of attribution is identification of the persons who committed the bioterrorist act or biocrime, intentionally or inadvertently. In addition to microbiological analytical tools, traditional forensic analyses, such as human DNA analysis, dermatoglyphic patterns, analytical chemistry, tool marks, and other techniques will be used to analyze a bioterrorist event or biocrime evidence. 4, record 3, English, - microbial%20forensics
