Innovative research into the gene-editing tool targets influenza’s ability to replicate—stopping it in its tracks.

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

The nanopore optofluidic chip used in the new diagnostic system, with a PCR thermocycler in the background for comparison. The new system could easily fit into a researcher’s lab or clinician’s office ...

RNA is a central molecule in RNA virus biology, acting not only as a messenger of protein synthesis, but also as a genome. However, viruses encode a limited number of proteins able to interact with ...

Infectious disease researchers have identified Pteropine orthoreoviruses (PRVs), a group of newly emergent bat-borne viruses, as the culprit for previously unexplained illness in five Bangladeshi ...

A research group has discovered a novel RNA viral genome from microbes inhabiting a high-temperature acidic hot spring. Their study shows that RNA viruses can live in high-temperature environments (70 ...

Zymo’s Quick DNA/RNA Viral MagBead Kit was automated using Analytik Jena’s Cybio FeliX pipetting robot. The CyBio FeliX configuration, optimized for nucleic acid (NA) extraction, offers a convenient ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

A University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) study, published in Nature Communications, uncovers how enteroviruses—including those causing polio, myocarditis, encephalitis, and the common ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilizing its genome, made up of RNA molecules. But the challenge ...
