Using a new cell model, researchers can for the first time study how hepatitis E viruses affect nerve cells. Hepatitis E viruses (HEV) typically cause liver infections. They can, however, also infect ...

In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers developed a deep learning model, "LucaProt," a transformer-based AI model to detect highly divergent ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA ...

Scientists have discovered a shocking new way viruses can spread — and it’s faster and deadlier than ever. Meet “Migrions,” a newly found virus–cell hybrid structure that lets viruses hitch a ride on ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to uncover 70,500 viruses previously unknown to science 1, many of them weird and nothing like known species. The RNA viruses were identified using ...
