New research reveals how ocean viruses burst algae cells, fueling a subsurface oxygen band through rapid microbial recycling.

With antimicrobial resistance becoming a silent pandemic, researchers are gradually shifting their focus from formulating new antibiotics to exploring the potential of naturally occurring viruses in ...

In a new study, we and an international team of scientists examined the behavior of marine viruses in a large band of ...

A type of virus thought to be a 'mere curiosity' is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how viruses work and could ...

This work represents the first published simulations demonstrating how a virus as large as a soccer ball, or an even larger one like hepatitis B (T=4), can assemble step by step, shedding light on ...

BOZEMAN – Matthew Taylor likened his recently published work alongside doctoral student Gary Dunn to kicking over a rock. Once the discovery was made, it was time to see what lay beneath. Taylor, an ...

For centuries, the nature of a fever — and whether it's good or bad — has been hotly contested. In ancient Greece, the physician Hippocrates thought that fever had useful qualities, and could cook an ...

Retroviruses are viruses that have evolved the ability to write their genetic code into a cell's own DNA. The most ancient known lineage of retroviruses, foamy viruses, emerged around 450 million ...

A type of virus thought to be a ‘mere curiosity’ is plentiful in one common bacteria, and possibly others, a Monash University-led research team has found. The discovery improves understanding of how ...
