A cold sore might seem like a minor nuisance. But behind that tingling lip is one of the world’s most widespread and cunning ...

It’s now part of our own genetic makeup, packaged in a gene that’s involved in sperm-egg fusion. “So there are cases like that. What’s come out of viruses turns out to be a key part of us.

First, it’s worth noting that flu viruses experience subtle changes in their genetic makeup all the time. This allows the virus to evolve rapidly, and it is why flu vaccines need to be updated ...

Five years removed from the onset of Covid-19's global sweep, research into another subset of the coronavirus has scientists ...

Common vectors include small viruses called adeno-associated viruses, ... molecules into bacteriophage T4 based on the specific condition being targeted in each patient and their genetic makeup.

The virus is able, for example, to survive intact within food up to temperatures of 70C (158F). "It can survive heat, freezing cold, extreme dryness, and so it just sits on surfaces for days ...
