Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes ...

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

The death toll and economic damage associated with flu highlight its role as one of the most harmful viruses in history.

As antibiotic-resistant bacteria threaten global health, Hebrew University scientists use innovative method to discover PreS, ...

Viruses are typically described as tiny, perfectly geometric shells that pack genetic material with mathematical precision, ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body's defense ...

Researchers found that icosahedral viruses deliberately break symmetry using a single chemical bond to control RNA release.

Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

A study from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), published in Nature Communications, reveals how ...

That study reported that the RNA virus called lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) had somehow integrated into the mouse genome -- surprising because with the exception of retroviruses like HIV, ...

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) report that they have developed a new tool (Cas13d-NCS) that allows CRISPR RNA molecules that are located within the cell ...
