Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

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 ...

Biologists are quietly rewriting what it means to be alive, and the human body has become one of their strangest frontiers.

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

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 ...

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

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, ...

UMBC scientists uncovered how enteroviruses initiate replication by assembling a conserved RNA–protein complex inside host cells. The team showed how viral and host proteins bind an RNA cloverleaf to ...

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 ...

A research group has discovered a novel RNA viral genome from microbes inhabiting a high-temperature acidic hot spring. Their study shows that RNA viruses can live in high-temperature environments (70 ...

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 ...
