A new approach to analysis traced the viral DNA across evolution to identify its positions in our genome and understand its ...

Cambridge scientists have now sequenced the genome of the facial herpes virus, including samples taken from several ancient human remains, and traced it back 5,000 years.

University of Queensland researchers have developed an affordable, open-source DNA measurement tool that can be built using a ...

The cold sore-causing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) hijacks human cells and reconfigures its DNA within just an hour after infection, according to a new study that may help tackle the pathogen.

The Tufts University study, using a 3D bioengineered brain model, demonstrated how a herpes infection can induce a number of Alzheimer’s features, including neuroinflammation and amyloid plaques.

"The beauty of phi29 motor is that it provides a relatively simple system to investigate the mechanism of DNA packaging," Anderson says. "Working in a micro-droplet, or an area the size of a very ...

Some roundworms carry a genetic element that is so fascinatingly selfish, the survival of offspring hinges on inheriting at least one copy of it. It contains a duo of genes, one encoding a toxic ...

Artificial intelligence tools predict DNA's regulatory role and 3D structure Sequence modeling algorithms could eventually lead to new ways to fight diseases caused by genetic mutations Date ...
