I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has at least heard of the Human Genome Project. They might not be able to tell you much about the specifics of what it ...

Human DNA in its natural state inside cells (left) compared to eight hours after being infected with HSV-1 (right). The virus compacts the human genome's size significantly and moves it towards ...

Human genome in its natural state before HSV-1 infection. Credit: Esther Gonzalez Almela and Álvaro Castells García The human genome compacted eight hours after being infected with HSV-1.

While other herpes viruses have been seen compacting and reshaping host chromosomes, it was unclear whether it was a side effect of the virus invading and setting up its own viral replication ...

HSV-1 is an opportunistic interior designer, reshaping the human genome with great precision and choosing which bits it comes into contact with. It's a novel mechanism of manipulation we didn't ...

They found that within 1 hour of the virus entering cells, it had stolen transcription proteins away from the human genome, something prior studies had already suggested. But they also showed that ...

Human genome editing historically has allowed for precise alterations of single base pairs by excising or inserting new sequences at a single location along the DNA strand. However, conventional ...

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI), one of the leading causes of drug development failure and market withdrawals, remained ...

Emerging ‘co-scientist’ systems use teams of chatbots to mimic the deliberations of a research group. Do they really help?
