Study provides insight into replication and transcription machinery of ranaviruses

Nucleo-cytoplasmic large DNA viruses (NCLDVs) of the genus Ranavirus (family iridoviridae) have been isolated from aquatic species such as reptiles, amphibians, and bony fish. Poikilotherms are at risk from these promiscuous infections.

Researchers develop a three-dimensional, fully dynamic kinetic model of a living minimal cell

Scientists report that they have built a living "minimal cell" with a genome stripped down to its barest essentials – and a computer model of the cell that mirrors its behavior.

Researchers determine how key protein drives the defense system to fight viruses

Scientists have just found a solution to a major mystery that explains how human blood cells train the defense system against viruses. They hope that this discovery will one day allow them to better control the response and either boost or calm it as needed.

Study details the design of RNA-based breathalyzer to diagnose SARS-CoV-2

In a new study in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics, published by Elsevier, investigators report on the design and testing of a breathalyzer, known as the Bubbler, that relies on viral RNA detection to diagnose SARS-CoV-2. Its name is derived from the bubbling sound that occurs when the patient exhales into the device.
