The virus that causes COVID-19 can alter the genomic structure of cells, which may explain the immunological symptoms that someone experiences from an infection, according to a new study from ...

New research by scientists at the University of Toronto and the Structural Genomics Consortium has deepened our understanding of how viruses like the flu, common cold, and COVID-19 get into cells ...

They are studying five viruses that represent the major subgroups of flaviviruses and alphaviruses, including West Nile, tick-borne encephalitis, dengue, chikungunya and Venezuelan equine encephalitis ...

In the new study, researchers homed in on a part of the viral machinery called the viral polymerase complex, a group of proteins the virus uses to copy its genetic material, spread, and infect cells.

The Ren lab has previously shown that this is the case for the influenza A virus, the only known type of influenza that can cause flu pandemics, and SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

As CCoV-HuPn-2018 has been recently isolated in a child's respiratory swab, researchers from the University Of Washington have been examining the structure of the virus.
