Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers developed a deep learning model, "LucaProt," a transformer-based AI model to detect highly divergent ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA ...

Different DNA Structures Nucleate the Folding of Proteins to form specific complexes that modulate the readout of ...

A small change to a powerful molecular tool — using the CRISPR-Cas13 enzyme, which can detect RNA from viruses and cells — ...

Viruses rely on hosts to survive. But some viruses are more effective at reproducing than others. Now, new research has shown that the herpes virus, more specifically herpes simplex virus type 1 ...

The oldest example of the common cold virus has been discovered by scientists on tissue samples from a woman who was infected around 250 years ago. It proved to be a breakthrough for researchers, ...

Using genomics, evolutionary biologists test several hypotheses on the origin of viruses. New evidence suggests they may have emerged more times than previously thought. Corroborating the virus-first ...

Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. HERVs, or human endogenous retroviruses, make up around 8% of the human genome, left behind as a result of infections that ...

Finding rhinoviruses, which cause the common cold, in preserved medical specimens and analysing their RNA genome could let us ...
