A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

One class of functionally important RNA is repeating transcripts that cause disease through various mechanisms. For example, expanded CAG repeats can cause Huntington’s and other disease through ...

Dengue surveillance trusts only on reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) type methodologies for confirmation of dengue virus serotypes; however, its real time application is ...

DNA and RNA have been measured with many techniques but often with relatively long analysis times. In this study, we utilize fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) for the subsecond codetection of ...

The recent Zika virus (ZIKV) infection epidemic in the Americas, recognised in Brazil in 2015, was associated with an increase in the number of microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) cases. 4 ...

In this work, we have investigated the conformational equilibrium and the folding pathway of the 49mer single-stranded RNA ribozyme Diels–Alderase (DAse) (12) using a novel hidden Markov model (HMM) ...

The catalytic repertoire of RNA lies at the foundation of the RNA world hypothesis, which posits that early life used RNA as both the genetic material and enzymes (ribozymes). (1) The ability of ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the National Center for Genomic Analysis and the University of Adelaide created a single-cell RNA analysis method that is 47 times cheaper and more ...

Coronaviruses belong to an infamous category of viruses, the single-stranded RNA viruses, that includes influenzas, Ebola viruses, rabies, measles, Nipah, hantaviruses, and retroviruses.

Scientists have uncovered over 200 new giant viruses lurking in ocean waters that not only help shape marine ecosystems but also manipulate photosynthesis in algae. These massive viruses once ...

Luca was eventually diagnosed with a then-little-known illness called acute flaccid myelitis, or AFM. In the long history of medicine, AFM is a relatively new disease—its debut in the academic ...

Immunoprecise Antibodies Ltd. has discovered a highly conserved epitope across all four dengue virus serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4) using its proprietary Lensai platform powered by its ...
