The influenza A virus (IAV) is known for its segmented genome, which consists of eight distinct viral RNA segments (vRNAs). This unique structure allows for genetic reassortment, a process that ...

To learn more about the recent bird flu outbreaks, we spoke with Asha Shah, MD, director of infectious diseases and ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...

However, our improved knowledge about influenza virus structure and its biological properties have enabled us to use genetic reassortment techniques to modify 'wild-type' strains so as to increase ...

But to some, the coronavirus outbreak is reminiscent of epidemics that have caused a panic in recent memory, including SARS, MERS, the Zika virus, and swine flu. So how exactly does the ...
