The presence of human waste in sewage overflow or stormwater runoff that ultimately finds its way into rivers and lakes is a ...

Ancient viruses embedded in human DNA millions of years ago may play a role in raising people’s risks of depression, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The viral genes have unusual activity ...

Researchers from South Korea developed a novel microbial source tracking method using CrAss-like phages, abundant viruses in ...

A team of researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has developed a tiny, four-fingered “hand” folded from ...

The presence of human waste in sewage overflow or stormwater runoffs that ultimately find their way into rivers and lakes is a major public health hazard. Conventionally, testing for fecal ...

Single-cell analysis has helped researchers uncover how BKPyV replicates, opening the door to new drug targets.

The study is published in the journal PLOS Pathogens. With only seven genes, the BK polyomavirus must use the host cell’s DNA replication machinery to produce new viruses. Although the virus was ...

With only seven genes, the BK polyomavirus must use the host cell's DNA replication machinery to produce new viruses. Although the virus was discovered over 50 years ago, little is known about how ...
