Three children have died in the most recent outbreak of measles. This article reviews the symptoms and treatment of measles.

HMPV was first identified in 2001 and is a single-stranded RNA virus. It spreads through respiratory droplets or by touching contaminated surfaces. It has an incubation period of 3 to 6 days.

UC Irvine scientists developed bioluminescent RNA tags, "tiny guiding lights," using luciferase to track RNA in real-time, ...

The genomes of all influenza viruses are composed of eight single-stranded RNA segments (Figure 1). These RNAs are negative-sense molecules, meaning that they must be copied into positive-sense ...

but viruses have different kinds of structure — there are DNA genomes, RNA genomes, double-stranded, single-stranded …" Anantharaman told Live Science. That some virus types contain just RNA ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read ...

The RNP complex is the influenza virus’s essential package, the virus’s blueprints and a copy machine all rolled in one. The ...

The nine-subunit non-catalytic core shares structural similarities to bacterial 3’ to 5’ phosphorolytic exoribonucleases such as PNPase, including a prominent central channel that is large enough to ...

Viruses with an envelope are generally less stable outside ... is sequestered by specific heme-binding proteins such as hemoglobin. A short piece of single-stranded RNA about 21 to 23 bases in length ...

In the new study, the researchers used RNA silencing, a natural defence mechanism found in plants. When a virus infects a plant, it introduces double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which is a red flag for ...

Research teams across Canada are now building on homegrown innovation to expand the potential of RNA vaccines beyond infectious diseases.
