PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State University researchers have developed a machine learning model that could help prevent pandemics by identifying animal species likely to harbor viruses capable of ...

Several studies have been conducted to better understand the transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) ...

The Molecular Virology Research Group at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF), in collaboration with the Epitranscriptomics and RNA Dynamics group of the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG), has discovered a ...

A giant virus encodes part of the protein-making toolkit of cells that gives it greater control over its amoeba host, raising questions about how it evolved and how such beings relate to living organi ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers applied their previously developed precision-cut lung slice (PCLS) model to study the initial events in severe acute respiratory ...

Researchers created a machine learning software that analyzes virus’ genetic information to predict which groups of animals the virus will likely spread to, according to a paper published Nov. 1 in ...

In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

The existence of genetic variation for resistance in host populations is assumed to be essential to the spread of an emerging virus. Models predict that the rate of spread slows down with the ...

The arenaviruses are an important group of pathogens that includes several agents of severe human disease, with symptoms that include hemorrhagic fever and neurological complications; however, closely ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. They have revealed a unique viral mechanism: A molecular ring anchors the viral copying machine ...
