Rutgers scientists have developed a new approach to stopping viral infections: a so-called live-attenuated, replication-defective DNA virus vaccine that uses a compound known as centanamycin to ...

In a twist on the question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?", scientists have long faced a similar question about how human adenovirus replicates: "Which comes first, assembly of the viral ...

The herpesvirus can manipulate our DNA with far more precision than previously thought. The virus condenses and changes the shape of our genetic material to hijack the host genes needed for ...

Researchers have shown for the first time how Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV), which causes an aggressive skin cancer called Merkel cell carcinoma, initiates DNA replication in host cells. University ...

Using cryo-microscopy, researchers present a high-resolution structure of monkeypox virus DNA polymerase holoenzyme, a complex that plays a key role in the genome replication process of the virus. The ...

--Study shows viral proteins utilize phase separation to coordinate complex process of replicating viral genomes and then encapsulating that DNA in a viral particle-- "These findings have broad ...

Rather than jumping to humans from animals recently, the monkeypox virus variant responsible for the worldwide outbreak may have been circulating in people for years, DNA sequencing suggests. Because ...

You may be trying to get a handle on the monkeypox virus outbreak. But can touching a handle give you the virus? How about sitting on a toilet seat, flushing the toilet, using a mouse (a computer ...
