New research shows that the recent re-emergence of BTV in France could have been caused by human activities, based on the virus' unusual genetic makeup.

Scientists led by Patrick Cramer at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen, Germany, have now determined the 3D structure of the corona polymerase.

A new study led by researchers at Oxford and Guangdong Centre for Diseases Control and Prevention describes the epidemiology and genetic make-up of the COVID-19 outbreak in China’s most populous region, and shows how early and intensive testing and tracing helped to interrupt local transmission of the virus.

Researchers have identified the genetic basis of rapid adaptation using a native fish species, revealing that changes in the genome can be observed within a single generation.

Scientists at the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), have identified a new risk factor for multiple neurodegenerative diseases.

A new study published in the journal Nature Communications outlines the creation of the first experimental mouse model allowing for direct analysis of the mechanical function of proteins in living organisms. Technology Networks spoke with the research team leader to find out more.

Researchers have shown that genome-editing techniques could eliminate up to 70 percent of the contaminating protein by mass in recombinant-protein drugs.

Researchers have discovered a new type of immune cell that helps to keep breast tissue healthy by regulating a vital process within mammary ducts – the sites where milk is produced and transported, but also where most breast cancers arise.

Researchers have successfully decoded the genome of the herpes simplex virus 1, uncovering hundreds of previously unknown gene products.

By shuffling DNA in and out of one gene, syphilis stays a step ahead of the immune system to resist eradication
