Researchers have identified a previously unknown giant virus that may offer new insight into how complex life first evolved.
Learn how a newly discovered virus disrupts its host’s nucleus in ways that echo how complex cells may have formed billions ...
Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.
The origin of life on Earth becomes even more fascinating and complex as we peer into the mysterious world of viruses. Said ...
A virus may be microscopic, but it contains thousands of nucleic acid bases strategically packaged into a protein shell. Knowing how the virus organizes these vast information stores in a compact ...
Toward the goal of efficient editing of farm animals for genetic improvements, this study explores an upgraded form of nuclease PE (uPEn). Based on the resolved structure of the NiV polymerase L-P ...
Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical ...
An ancient viral infection may have given animals the tools to become fast, coordinated and smart, a study has found. According to a paper published Thursday in Cell, complex nervous systems arose in ...
Scientists at Harvard Medical School and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine have mapped a critical component of the Nipah virus, a highly lethal bat-borne pathogen that has ...
