Author Summary Since the genome of an influenza A virus has eight non-contiguous segments, two influenza A viruses can exchange genes readily when they infect the same cell. This process of reassortment is important...
A team of scientists at the University of Washington and the biotechnology company Illumina have created an innovative tool to directly detect the delicate, single-molecule interactions between DNA and enzymatic proteins. Their approach provides...
Better diagnosis leads to better treatment – that’s well-known. Easier said than done, of course, since that’s not always possible when tests for diseases or infections take time to generate results, for example, or are inaccurate...
High levels of LDL cholesterol — the “bad” cholesterol — increase the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. A Yale-led research team has identified an RNA molecule...
Two scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for key discoveries about a cosmic particle that whizzes through space at nearly the speed of light, passing easily through Earth and even your body....
Over the last two decades, scientists have argued back and forth on whether or not ultra-small bacteria exist. The argument has been fueled, in part, by the1996 find of ultra-tiny fossil microorganisms on a...

A recombinant vector vaccine uses an attenuated virus, bacterium, or parasite as the carrier to express a heterologous antigen(s). Many recombinant vaccine vectors and related vaccines have been developed and extensively investigated. To compare...
The Journal of Open Research Software (JORS) features peer reviewed Software Metapapers describing research software with high reuse potential. We are working with a number of specialist and institutional repositories to ensure that the...
