This study has shown that HSV-1 is an "opportunistic interior designer" of human cells. | Genetics And Genomics ...

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

The cold sore-causing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) hijacks human cells and reconfigures its DNA within just an hour after ...

Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), it turns out, also redecorates, according to a new study in Nature Communications. Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona have discovered ...

Mpox virus (MPXV) F8–A22–E4 polymerase holoenzyme is responsible for the accurate replication of the viral genome. Unlike other DNA polymerases, MPXV polymerase holoenzyme harbors the multifunctional ...

Tiny 4-fingered DNA robot hand grabs COVID virus, shields cells from infection Researchers have developed a human hand-inspired nanorobot made from a single strand of DNA. Updated: Nov 28, 2024 08 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The LINE-1 retrotransposon, one of the most common elements in human DNA, is a major part of the ‘dark genome,’ the poorly understood genetic material that doesn’t provide blueprints for any of the ...
