Using genomics, evolutionary biologists test several hypotheses on the origin of viruses. New evidence suggests they may have ...
Furthermore, nonretroviral RNA viruses such as lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) can be reverse transcribed into DNA copies by an endogenous reverse transcriptase. Studies have also shown that ...
A new gene-editing technique enables the correction of multiple genetic mutations simultaneously, transforming the prospects ...
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 ...
March 25, 2002-- Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have discovered surprising parallels in the way that three different classes of RNA viruses replicate. The discovery suggests that there ...
