Using the Genome Sequencer System from 454 Life Sciences, a Roche company, French scientists have identified a small virus that can actually be parasitic to a larger one. The 50 nm virus, named Sputnik, is associated with a new strain of the giant Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV) and is believed to represent a currently unknown family of viruses. The study, entitled "The virophage as a unique parasite of the giant mimivirus," appeared in the September 4th issue of Nature (1).

|
I'm considering making a softball pitching machine for batting practice. Searching around on the web, I didnt fine any "true" build-it-yourself instructions--only "buy all the parts and assemble it" instructions. Have any of you guys tried to make a pitching machine before? Any suggestions on where to start? I was thinking of using an old gas engine from an edger as the power source. |
