Researchers recovered a 250-year-old cold virus from preserved lung tissue, offering rare insight into how respiratory viruses evolved.

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

For decades, biology textbooks have drawn a firm line: viruses are not alive. They lack the machinery to reproduce on their ...

The innate immune system is the body's first line of defence against pathogens like bacteria or viruses. TRIM25 is a protein that is important in the innate immune response against RNA viruses, such ...

161,979 new RNA viruses have been discovered using a machine learning tool that researchers believe will vastly improve the mapping of life on Earth and could aid in the identification of many ...

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

A new study has explored the RNA-binding mechanisms of the antiviral protein TRIM25. TRIM25 (green, left) finds its way to the same locations in the cell where a virus (red, middle) replicates. The ...
