Oh, Hölzer et al., discuss the multidisciplinary approach used for monitoring the genomic and virological evolution of SARS-CoV-2 during the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications on public health in ...

Analysis of RNA polymerase hallmark gene phylogenies supported by protein structure relationships of flaviviruses and ‘flavi-like’ viruses underpins the taxonomic expansion and reorganization of Flaviviridae.

AbstractSummary. Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) offer valuable insights into virus and host evolution, but their detection remains computationally and bi

imageimageViro3D provides proteome-level, high confidence AI-protein structure predictions for >4,400 viruses, allowing mapping of form and function across the human and animal virosphere. Viro3D i...

Deltaviruses are subviral agents of animals, which, in humans, require a hepadnavirus helper for transmission. The absence of deltavirus-like endogeno…

Wastewater-based epidemiology has already proven to be a powerful tool to monitor the spread of a number of diseases. This Perspective discusses the integration with machine learning, highlighting its...

Design degenerated primers on highly variable alignments for full genome sequencing or qPCR. Specifically developed for viruses. - jonas-fuchs/varVAMP

Norovirus causes an estimated 699 million cases of gastroenteritis and 219,000 deaths each year. Historically, novel strains with a genogroup II genotype 4 (GII.4) capsid have emerged every 3–5 yea...

Mpox denotes a viral zoonosis caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV), which is endemic in West and Central Africa. In spring 2022, notable outbreaks of mpox clade IIb were recorded in several high-income co...

Author summary Infectious disease spreading is often affected by the dynamics of human-human contacts. These contact dynamics may change over time, and in direct response to infection kinetics, throug...

The worst ultra-billionaire on Earth says he’s leaving government. Let’s hope he actually does it.

A modelling approach predicts SARS-CoV-2 variant dynamics on the basis of immunity and cross-neutralization, which was shaped by a region’s SARS-CoV-2 infection history.

Martin Steinegger, who is the only non-DeepMind-affiliated author of the AlphaFold2 Nature paper, offers unique insights and personal reflections.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services is reportedly laying off the entire Office Of Infectious Disease And HIV/AIDS Policy. Here's the impact
