In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers developed a deep learning model, "LucaProt," a transformer-based AI model to detect highly divergent ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA ...

A small change to a powerful molecular tool — using the CRISPR-Cas13 enzyme, which can detect RNA from viruses and cells — ...

Zymo’s Quick DNA/RNA Viral MagBead Kit was automated using Analytik Jena’s Cybio FeliX pipetting robot. The CyBio FeliX configuration, optimized for nucleic acid (NA) extraction, offers a convenient ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, uses a sophisticated tactic to evade the human body’s defense ...

Have you ever wondered why you have to get a flu shot every year, but some vaccines are one-and-done? It all has to do with how and how fast viruses evolve - and that depends on mutation rates.

Using genomics, evolutionary biologists test several hypotheses on the origin of viruses. New evidence suggests they may have emerged more times than previously thought. Corroborating the virus-first ...
