Scientists have for the first time sequenced the most complete and oldest ancient Egyptian genome ever found—unlocking new ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors.

Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion.

Findings We analysed 16 635 norovirus sequences submitted between Jan 1, 2005, to Nov 17, 2016, of which 1372 (8·2%) sequences belonged to genotype GI, 15 256 (91·7%) to GII, and seven (<0·1%) to ...

The virus that commonly causes cold sores starts reshaping our genome within an hour of infection to boost its own growth, which scientists could take advantage of to treat severe cases.

The relationship between activity and structure might be a two-way street," says Dr. Álvaro Castells García, co-first author of the study. Two in every three people under age 50 live with HSV-1.
