In an article published in Nature Microbiology, scientists reveal the existence of numerous new lineages of mirusviruses, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes ...

Neanderthal remains from the Altai Mountains contain human viruses, a team of researchers has found, suggesting that infectious diseases may have been transmitted between anatomically modern humans ...

Researchers in the United Kingdom have found a common childhood virus that can trigger DNA damage leading to bladder cancer ...

Scientists reviewed DNA damage patterns triggered by the cell's antiviral defences after controlled exposure to the BK virus to determine the risk of virus.

Using a virus-like delivery particle made from DNA, researchers from MIT and the Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT, and Harvard have created a vaccine that can induce a strong antibody response against SARS ...
