The origin of life on Earth becomes even more fascinating and complex as we peer into the mysterious world of viruses.

Researchers at Utah State University have reported a previously unrecognised CRISPR immune response in which a bacterial ...

Harvard Medical School researchers have uncovered crucial insights into how an emerging class of antiviral drugs works.

Members of a new class of antivirals are being tested in U.S. clinical trials, and one has gained approval in Japan, but how ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

A common hallmark of viral genome replication is a high mutation rate, which can aid in their ability to evade new treatments and acquire resistance to once-effective antiviral medications. Now, a new ...

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 ...
