A groundbreaking study by researchers from the Universities of Basel and Zurich has unlocked one of the most significant ...

A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may disrupt how carbon and nutrients are recycled in the ocean, potentially altering ...

Here's what we know To examine possible viruses, researchers analyzed 35,000 water samples taken from all oceans throughout the world. Samples included plankton, which are known to carry RNA viruses.

By Dr. Sushama R. Chaphalkar, PhD. A new deep learning model, LucaProt, has detected over 251,000 new RNA virus species from global ecosystems, revealing unprecedented viral diversity in places ...

RNA virus biology is really different from DNA viruses, and particularly DNA phages. So I started pretty naive. I’ll be honest, I had hoped we’d see a lot of new viruses that were within the five ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

They then infected the cells with with the LCMV, and tested for conversion to DNA and subsequent integration. With IAP particles present, the RNA viruses integrated into the genomic DNA. "I think this ...

Individually tailored RNA or DNA-based molecules are able to reliably fight off viral infections in plants, according to a new study. The researchers were able to fend off a common virus using the ...

Vaccinia is a large DNA virus made up of about 200 genes, and its approach to survival differs markedly from that of smaller, nimbler RNA viruses, such as that which causes COVID-19.
