Ancient DNA is turning human evolution into a crime scene reconstruction, and one of the prime suspects is a herpesvirus that ...

A virus may be microscopic, but it contains thousands of nucleic acid bases strategically packaged into a protein shell. Knowing how the virus organizes these vast information stores in a compact ...

Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered how a key protein from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EBNA-LP, fundamentally rewires the three-dimensional structure of DNA in infected B cells to ...

Learn how a newly discovered virus disrupts its host’s nucleus in ways that echo how complex cells may have formed billions ...

Human DNA in its natural state inside cells (left) compared to eight hours after being infected with HSV-1 (right). The virus compacts the human genome’s size significantly and moves it towards the ...

DNA scaffolds that mirror influenza virus protein geometry boost antiviral binding and reduce infection more effectively than free molecules, enabling a modular antiviral design strategy. (Nanowerk ...
