Theory for Virions

VIRIONS LABO, since 2020

Hello. This site, VIRIONS, presents the documents written by S. Yoneda at VIRIONS LABO to help modeling of virus particles (virions). Some of the practical programs have already been uploaded to the CAPLIB site [1] of Github. VIRIONS was founded very recently, in January, 2020. Documents and files will be uploaded.

The personal history of S. Yoneda (in English) and a short introduction to geminivirus and old Japanese poetry (in Japanese) can be selected from the top menu now. The photo below shows four plastic models of icosahedrally symmetric solids with different T-numbers made with one of my programs and a plastic model of rotavirus capsid made with widely-used open programs.
