A virus that infects ocean phytoplankton was found to encode a ribosomal protein, a first for eukaryotic viruses. Researchers ...

In a new study, researchers at Indiana University Bloomington have discovered a new way that bacteria can kill its ...

Perhaps all viruses arose via a mechanism yet to be uncovered. Today's basic research in fields like microbiology, genomics, and structural biology may provide us with answers to this basic question.

Remarkably, viruses seemed to impede each other from the very start. When multiple phages attached themselves to a bacterial cell, fewer of them were able to even enter the cell, let alone cause ...

Researchers at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa have made an exciting discovery: a virus found in the ocean called FloV-SA2 carries the genetic instructions for making part of a ribosome—a crucial ...

Prof. Takemura is confident that this film will be a valuable tool for teaching biology, explaining that, “It enhances students' understanding of virus proliferation mechanisms and highlights ...

Knowledge-building extension: Use the Biology of SARS-CoV-2 resource from HHMI BioInteractive, including four animations about the structure, replication, evolution, and treatment of the virus, along ...

Future Virology. 2010;5(4):469-479. Other viral proteases that permit the virus to escape the host immune response have been described. Severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus ...

A new study, published in Nature Microbiology by researchers from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, reveals a previously unknown mode of resistance. The study was led by Prof. Debbie ...

Here, we review the most recent findings on the Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever virus molecular biology and pathogenesis, including aspects of virus–host cell interactions. To date ...
