Hello bigbrownbear,
There has been a lot of RNA sequencing. Here are some wikipedia articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinovirus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_cold http://microbewiki.kenyon.edu/index.php/Rhinovirus There are no vaccines against these viruses as there is little-to-no cross-protection between serotypes. At least 99 serotypes of Human rhinoviruses affecting humans have been sequenced. Lawrence |
