Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously ...

Researchers have developed a new method to detect RNA viruses based on the triplex-forming probe technology. This innovative methodology opens up new options for detecting viruses such as SARS-CoV ...

One of the modifications affected by SARS-CoV-2, known as m 6 A (a multifaceted regulator of gene expression), is highly important for RNA's basic functions, including transportation of data to ...

All viruses encode an enzyme capable of replicating their genome, be it DNA or RNA. Without such an enzyme, the virus is rendered impotent — even if it manages to infiltrate a host cell, it ...

The team found that in the absence of the complementation of the envelope (E) protein, virus-like particles (VLPs) carrying recombinant MERS-CoV-ΔE (rMERS-CoV-ΔE) RNA replicons were not ...

The cold sore virus takes over its host’s transcription machinery to replicate itself. Inhibiting a host enzyme can halt ...

More than 5,000 new RNA virus species were identified. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. More than 5,000 new virus species ...

DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

A detailed picture of what happens when DNA transcription is paused early in the process has been obtained by structural ...

The sigma virus belongs to a class of RNA viruses that lack an important enzyme, reverse transcriptase, that enables other viruses to convert their genetic material into DNA for integration into host ...
