In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

New research reveals that triggering a cell’s DNA damage response could be a promising avenue for developing novel treatments against several rare but devastating viruses for which no antiviral ...

CRISPR-Cas9 is a customizable tool that lets scientists cut and insert small pieces of DNA at precise areas along a DNA strand. This lets scientists study genes in a specific, targeted way. (NHGRI via ...

Using a DNA-based delivery particle, researchers created a vaccine that can induce a strong antibody response against SARS-CoV-2. Using a virus-like delivery particle made from DNA, researchers from ...

Griffith University researchers have played a key role in using DNA ‘origami’ templates to control the way viruses are assembled. The global team behind the research, published in Nature ...

Neanderthals may have caught the same viruses that cause modern colds, cold sores, and some cancers. It's possible ancient humans introduced these unfamiliar viruses to their relatives. Understanding ...
