Researchers announce that they have pieced together the entire genetic structure of a simple virus in just two weeks. Previous efforts have taken years. The scientists, led by genetic researcher ...

Researchers present a high-resolution structure of the monkeypox virus DNA polymerase holoenzyme.

Scientists at Purdue University and the University of Minnesota have solved the three-dimensional structure of the central component of a biological "motor" that powers the DNA packaging system in a ...

The cold sore-causing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) hijacks human cells and reconfigures its DNA within just an hour after infection ... but tends to reorganise the entire internal structure of the ...

A computational model of the more than 26 million atoms in a DNA-packed viral capsid expands our understanding of virus structure and DNA dynamics, insights that could provide new research avenues ...

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered how a key protein from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EBNA-LP, ...

As summer kicks into full gear and people are spending more time outside, there's one thing on many people's minds—ticks.

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

Using a virus-mimicking DNA scaffold instead of the usual protein one to deliver a vaccine to mice not only generated a robust immune response but avoided the off-target effects sometimes seen ...

Using cryo-microscopy, researchers present a high-resolution structure of monkeypox virus DNA polymerase holoenzyme, a complex that plays a key role in the genome replication process of the virus.

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 ...
