They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard operator, capable of changing its shape every few milliseconds so it can ...

DNA and RNA aptamers can power portable biosensors that detect viruses within minutes, with potential uses beyond clinical ...

Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously pack their genetic material — a breakthrough that could help researchers ...

How can ocean viruses influence the global carbon cycle? This is what a recent study published in Science Advances hopes to address as a team of researchers from Rutgers University and Bar-Ilan ...

A new study by researchers at Bar-Ilan University has uncovered that certain ocean viruses—specifically RNA viruses—may disrupt how carbon and nutrients are recycled in the ocean, potentially altering ...

In the wake of recent global health crises, environmental surveillance has become a vital “early warning system.”By testing ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix ...

Researchers discover a startling diversity of viruses in Japanese bats, with over 60% infected, including novel strains, highlighting the urgent need for viral surveillance to prevent future pandemics ...

A new method that can rapidly determine whether a virus is infectious or non-infectious could revolutionize the response to future pandemics, researchers report. A new method that can rapidly ...

Europe is failing to test and treat HIV early, with over half (54%) of all diagnoses in 2024 being made too late for optimal treatment. New data released by the European Center for Disease Prevention ...
