Researchers at the University of Würzburg have unveiled a new tool for analyzing RNA molecules. It visualizes their structures as interactive maps and could help to improve our understanding of ...

All non-African populations alive today carry between two and four percent Neanderthal DNA, which continues to shape our ...

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 ...

The innate immune system is the body's first line of defence against pathogens like bacteria or viruses. TRIM25 is a protein that is important in the innate immune response against RNA viruses, such ...

161,979 new RNA viruses have been discovered using a machine learning tool that researchers believe will vastly improve the mapping of life on Earth and could aid in the identification of many ...

A team at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont has stumbled onto a finding that upends a long-standing ...

A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may disrupt how carbon and nutrients are recycled in the ocean, potentially altering ...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed what they describe as a fundamentally new type of vaccine using ...

Researchers at the CSIR-Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have revealed a key defence system in plants to fight viruses.

A new study has explored the RNA-binding mechanisms of the antiviral protein TRIM25. TRIM25 (green, left) finds its way to the same locations in the cell where a virus (red, middle) replicates. The ...
