Determining which viruses contain both DNA and RNA will affect classification of the herpesvirus family. Discovering the function that the virion mRNAs themselves or their protein products play in ...

Researchers have developed a way to tag RNA with a glowing "lantern" to track it in real time as it moves through the body.

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilising its genome, made up of eight RNA 1 molecules. But the ...

Microbial source tracking (MST) has the potential to overcome these challenges by detecting biomarkers—usually a protein, DNA, or RNA segment ... (CLPs), a class of viruses that infect bacteria ...
