A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may ...

Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

Scientists say the thousands of viruses found in the open waters are also part of new phylas, or divisions, of RNA viruses.

A groundbreaking Tel Aviv University study has discovered about 100,000 new types of previously unknown viruses - a ninefold increase in the number of RNA viruses known to science until now. These ...

However, lab members were quick to realize that the Zika virus RNA was stuck in this configuration for days—approximately one million times longer than other types of RNA.

It all started in the lab. Two Boston University doctoral students, Joshua McGee and Jack Kirsch, were creating and testing different types of RNA—strands of ribonucleic acid, built from chains ...

A new study uncovers how a protein, APOBEC3B, could protects cells against many different types of RNA viruses like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), SARS-CoV2, influenza virus, poliovirus and ...

The findings overturn the long-held idea that most types of RNA viruses are incapable of DNA integration and raise another safety concern in the use of RNA-based gene therapy. "It's a very interesting ...

RNA viruses are able to undergo two forms of recombination: RNA recombination, which (in principle) can occur in any type of RNA virus, and reassortment, which is restricted to those viruses with ...

Influenza is caused by three types of RNA viruses called influenza types A, B and C, which all belong to the family Orthomyxoviridae.

A new University of California, Irvine-led study uncovers how a protein called APOBEC3B could protect cells against many different types of RNA viruses like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), SARS ...
