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, ...

In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers developed a deep learning model, "LucaProt," a transformer-based AI model to detect highly divergent ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA ...

Two human cells making RNA made visible by the bioluminescent lantern in pink (middle image). On the left, the same cells making a fluorescent protein that's distributed evenly throughout the two ...

Researchers at the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF) at Heidelberg University Hospital have decoded a previously unknown mechanism by which HIV-1 selects its integration targets in the human ...

Different DNA Structures Nucleate the Folding of Proteins to form specific complexes that modulate the readout of ...

A small change to a powerful molecular tool — using the CRISPR-Cas13 enzyme, which can detect RNA from viruses and cells — ...

Using genomics, evolutionary biologists test several hypotheses on the origin of viruses. New evidence suggests they may have emerged more times than previously thought. Corroborating the virus-first ...

Have you ever wondered why you have to get a flu shot every year, but some vaccines are one-and-done? It all has to do with how and how fast viruses evolve - and that depends on mutation rates.

Finding rhinoviruses, which cause the common cold, in preserved medical specimens and analysing their RNA genome could let us ...

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they ...
