A sequencing study conducted in Uganda reveals that one in four people has been exposed to a deadly hemorrhagic virus.

Viral DNA that is usually dismissed when sequencing the human genome could help to uncover useful information about complex diseases.

Researchers have developed a new technology called tARC-seq that revealed a genetic mechanism affecting SARS-CoV-2 divergence and enabled the team to calculate SARS-CoV-2's mutation rate. Using ...

genome sequencing Metagenomic sequencing identified genetically distinct, chronologically overlapping case clusters during a hospital-associated norovirus outbreak. Real-time metagenomic sequencing ...

Viruses are a mysterious and poorly understood force in microbial ecosystems. Researchers know they can infect, kill, and manipulate human and bacterial cells in nearly every environment, from the ...

Tens of millions of still-unknown or misunderstood viruses can cause diseases – including new pandemics – and affect the health of valuable terrestrial and marine environments. Now a new pipeline to ...

As the popularity of wastewater surveillance programs soared during the COVID-19 pandemic, microbiologist Anthony Maresso and microbial geneticist Michael Tisza from Baylor College of Medicine ...

The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID has the unsettling ability of often generating variants of itself. Other viruses also mutate, but as SARS-CoV-2 quickly spread throughout the entire human ...
