During infection, multiple subgenomic (sg) mRNAs are transcribed from a mirror ... we characterized the 5′ termini of the genome and the four sg mRNAs of Berne virus (BEV). We show that BEV mRNAs 3–5 ...

There is a new record for the largest genome to be sequenced, set at a massive 90 billion letters of DNA. It belongs to the South American lungfish. “It was a technical challenge, of course, ...

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9’s gene-editing prowess revolutionized genetic engineering just over a decade ago. Now it appears that genetic engineering technology may be taking its next big leap.

The fern Tmesipteris oblanceolata, which scientists just discovered has the longest known genome of any organism. Ferns are known among scientists for having particularly large genomes.

A printed version of the entire human genome would fill 220 large books. To do the same for a small, seemingly unremarkable fern found on a few Pacific islands would require nearly 11,000 books.

Differences between lineages and subgenomic ORFs may be related to differences in target cell tropism, early virus replication/transcription kinetics or sequence ...

Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity. The new “pangenome” incorporates the DNA of 47 individuals from every ...

The “pangenome,” which collated genetic sequences from 47 people of diverse ethnic backgrounds, could greatly expand the reach of personalized medicine. The new pangenome reference resembles a ...

HERVs, or human endogenous retroviruses, make up around 8% of the human genome, left behind as a result of infections that humanity’s primate ancestors suffered millions of years ago.
