Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

Stanford University researchers have discovered virus-like ‘lifeforms’ that exist inside human mouths and guts. It may ...

A groundbreaking Tel Aviv University study has discovered about 100,000 new types of previously unknown viruses - a ninefold increase in the number of RNA viruses known to science until now.

A new artificial intelligence model can improve the process of drug and vaccine discovery by predicting how efficiently ...

A new University of California, Irvine-led study uncovers how a protein, APOBEC3B, could protects cells against many different types of RNA viruses like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), SARS ...

That's one of the reasons that RNA viruses have been attractive candidates for gene therapy and vaccines: no risk of permanent integration. The cells that had this DNA insertion were so rare, however, ...

The next question is whether their modified saRNA can provide longer-lasting protection against virus infection compared to existing RNA-based vaccines at a similar dosage.

Very few labs could develop infectious clones for certain types of RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and other public health concerns,” said Weger-Lucarelli.

More than 30 previously unknown RNA viruses in sea lice have been identified by University of British Columbia (UBC) researchers. Sea lice are parasitic copepods (small crustaceans) found in many ...
