Aedes aegypti, commonly known as the yellow fever mosquito, is a highly adapted, invasive mosquito species recognized as a ...

Although the genetic material of most living organisms is DNA, various self-replicating agents rely instead on RNA, including ...

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 ...

Researchers at Boston University have mapped immune responses in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to uncover a wide range of insect viruses, many previously unknown. By tracking viral small RNAs that activate ...

Scientists in Switzerland have cracked open a century-old viral mystery by decoding the genome of the 1918 influenza virus from a preserved Zurich patient. This ancient RNA revealed that the virus had ...

Cases of Borna disease virus 1, or BoDV-1, are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease the outcome is ...

Researchers at Umeå University have identified two human cell proteins, NUP98 and NUP153, that play a crucial role in how ...

Many viruses, like poliovirus or enteroviruses, have icosahedral shells and need to eject their RNA at the right time and place inside a host cell. If they could bias that process, like Turnip Crinkle ...

Cryo-EM reveals the first detailed structure of the Bornavirus nucleoprotein–RNA complex, uncovering unique RNA binding and assembly mechanisms.
