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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 new ...

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 ...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common virus that has infected ~95% adults worldwide. While primary infection typically occurs during childhood or teenage years and is usually asymptomatic, it can cause ...

Europe is failing to test and treat HIV early, with over half (54%) of all diagnoses in 2024 being made too late for optimal treatment. New data released by the European Center for Disease Prevention ...

While they've played a role in human evolution, they can also cause problems like cancer, brain disorders, and even aging.

During a viral infection, the plant’s cells are hijacked by the virus to multiply itself. Key products of this process are viral RNA molecules that serve as blueprints for the production of proteins. ...
