Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously ...

The other possibility is that the quasi-double stranded secondary structure of hepatitis D virus —a result of 70% sequence self-complementarity — is mistaken for DNA, thereby hijacking RNA ...

Hepatitis D “virus”, despite the name, is a virusoid. Like most other virusoids, it depends on host RNA polymerases for replication. Unlike most other virusoids, it encodes proteins of its own.

Scientists at the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health, part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Guangzhou, China ...

As featured on the cover of the August 15 issue of G&D, an Argentinian research team, led by Dr. Andrea Gamarnik, report on their recent discovery of a novel mechanism of dengue virus replication.

Researchers have identified how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, builds a structure called the RNA cap that's critical for successful viral replication. The finding could lead to new ...

Cellular mRNA triggers structural transformation of Ebola virus matrix protein VP40 to its essential regulatory form. Cell Reports, 2021; 35 (2): 108986 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.108986 ...
