In order to get the negative-strand RNA back to its original sense, it has to be copied a second time, flipping the mirror image back again.

A team of researchers from the Spanish National Research Council has made a significant advance in plant biotechnology by ...

Rabies is notoriously difficult to treat once symptoms begin, and that challenge starts at the molecular level. Unlike many ...

This negative-stranded RNA is, in turn, a template for synthesizing additional positive-stranded RNA and shorter sub-genomic RNAs (sgRNAs).

The causative agent is rabies virus (RV), a negative-stranded RNA virus of the rhabdovirus family, which has a relatively simple, modular genome organization and encodes five structural proteins ...

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown virus in farmed Pacific oysters during a mass die-off in B.C., Canada. The discovery serves as a reminder that growers should exercise caution when ...

This is the first time that single and negative strand RNA viruses have been shown to activate the cGAS pathway. "We suggest that there are two steps to measles infection," says senior author ...

Songling virus (SGLV) is a spherical, enveloped, fragmented, negative-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Orthonairovirus in the Nairoviridae family. SGLV is transmitted by ticks and can ...

A higher incidence rate is observed in Asia and Africa. Rabies virus is a non-segmented negative-strand RNA virus that primarily affects the central nervous system and causes fatal infection.
