Taubenberger et al

Alternate title: Weekly harbinger of doom, redux.

In this week's Nature, Taubenberger et al, 'Characterization of the 1918 influenza virus polymerase genes'...

In this week's Science, 'Hey, guys, y'know that virus that killed 50 million people? We just re-created it!'

Erm...

What could possibly go wrong?
