The rapid identification of respiratory virus outbreaks is needed to enable rational and effective public health interventions. We developed new quantitative approaches for simultaneous ...

Scientists have identified dozens of human proteins that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, depends on to replicate ...

In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to be alive. Nestled inside a tiny plankton cell, researchers found a ...

The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is an alpha-coronavirus with a positive single-stranded RNA genome of 28 kb (Jung et al., 2020, Lee, 2015). It results in severe diarrhea and vomiting, ...

Chikungunya Virus and Prospects for a Vaccine Scott C Weaver; Jorge E Osorio; Jill A Livengood; Rubing Chen; Dan T Stinchcomb Disclosures Expert Rev Vaccines. 2012;11 (9):1087-1101.

Marburg virus belongs to the genus Marburgvirus in the family Filoviridae and causes a severe hemorrhagic fever, known as Marburg hemorrhagic fever (MHF), in both humans and nonhuman primates ...

A cure for chronic hepatitis B requires eliminating or permanently silencing covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). A pivotal target of this approach is the hepatitis B virus (HBV) X protein (HBx), ...

They gathered every genome that has been sequenced from a human virus — 679 in total. They copied pieces of the viral genomes and put them into human cells.

2.6 Electron microscopy analysis The rescued virus cell cultures were centrifuged at 3,000 × g for 30 min to obtain the supernatant. Subsequently, the supernatant was recentrifuged at 15,000 × g for ...

NB.1.8.1 has mutations that could increase the virus’s transmissibility and decrease the efficacy of certain neutralizing antibodies against it.

Human genome editing historically has allowed for precise alterations of single base pairs by excising or inserting new sequences at a single location along the DNA strand. However, conventional gene ...
