The common and important infectious viruses in pigs and poultry mainly include DNA and RNA viruses, which pose significant threats to both animal and human ...
Key steps in the life cycle of HCV include entry into the host cell, uncoating of the viral genome, translation of viral proteins, viral genome replication, and the assembly and release of virions.
Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs, and an intricate frameshift site structure that regulate viral protein synthesis. These findings highlight ...
Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are widespread across the tree of life. Once dismissed as the 'dark side' of the ...
Researchers at Tufts University revealed a possible molecular mechanism explaining how the DNA repeats are broken and then expanded in the Huntington’s disease gene, pointing to a component of the ...
