Phage Tn-seq uses Tn5 transposon mutagenesis with anti-CRISPR-based selection and deep sequencing as a method to generate unbiased, genome-wide mutations across diverse phages

Indiana University Bloomington (IUB) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biology in the field of RNA Science and Technology. ...

HHMI invests in scientists at all career stages who drive biomedical research, expand the pool of scientific talent, and make discoveries that advance human health for decades to come.

The BASEL collection of phages that infect E. coli has been a valuable resource, but is limited by the peculiarities of the host strain used. This study uses a modified host to expand the collection…

Viruses are ubiquitous mobile genetic elements that are obligate symbionts of cellular life forms and replicate exclusively within host cells. The ...

Cell entry of nonenveloped animal viruses requires translocation of a macromolecular assembly across a cellular membrane. Double-stranded RNA viruses introduce into the target cell an inner capsid par...

With prompt and appropriate medical care, experts say, people shouldn’t die from an ectopic pregnancy. Women in Texas and Oklahoma have sued over delays in care, which, coupled with our new analysis, ...

Author summary Bacteriophages are among the most abundant biological entities in the oceans. While most known phages use a tail to recognize and infect bacteria, simpler non-tailed phages may be just ...

A high-resolution structure of African horse sickness virus viral attachment protein reveals a functional domain and neutralizing target, enabling a nanoparticle vaccine that protects in mice and indu...

The West Nile virus has been confirmed in nine people in the Netherlands since the start of the summer, according to the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). The virus is…

Dr. Michael Emerman “You align priorities to favor the trainees (so) that what is good for the trainees will end up being good for the lab” Emerman on successful mentoring, Virology Unm…

From pursuing an impossible dream to uncovering one of the cell’s best-kept secrets and advancing the design of improved antibiotics

Programmed −1 ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) is a translational control mechanism used by RNA viruses to regulate the relative abundance of proteins en…

Young researchers have long come to the U.S. for academic training, but a combination of Chinese money and U.S. restrictions is shifting the balance.

The Review describes shared ancient, conserved mechanisms between human antiviral immunity and bacterial anti-phage systems, outlining universal principles of pathogen sensing, signalling and effector...
