In a landmark feat of genetic engineering, researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) in Cambridge have ...

The move drew sharp criticism from medical and health experts. “Scrapping the fastest platform we have is a reckless move ...

Zika virus is just one of many RNA viruses—termed flaviviruses—that are spread by mosquitoes and ticks around the world. These viruses include West Nile virus, which is found in North Carolina.

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 ...

NOTE: (1) ChatGPT provides a nice explanation of how RNA strand damage contributes to mutation. I didn't dare put this in the article for fear of hate mail. Or worse. "The 2' hydroxyl group is ...

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 ...

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 ...

These viruses cover the spectrum of enveloped and non-enveloped as well as DNA and RNA viruses, truly showing the potential of the FAIRY assay.
