Scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have identified 4,208 previously unannotated open reading frames (ORFs) across 679 human-associated viral genomes using a high-throughput method ...

Massively Parallel Ribosome Profiling (MPRP) enables rapid identification of viral proteins without the need to grow live ...

Researchers at Texas Biomedical Research Institute and the University of Chicago have uncovered a mechanism that SARS-CoV-2, ...

Heparan sulfate (HS) is a cell surface polysaccharide recently identified as a coreceptor with the ACE2 protein for the S1 spike protein on SARS-CoV-2 virus, providing a tractable new therapeutic ...

Science X is a network of high quality websites with most complete and comprehensive daily coverage of the full sweep of ...

A new study reveals the biological secret to the Zika virus's infectious success: Zika uses host cells' own "self-care" system of clearing away useless molecules to suppress the host proteins that the ...

Though further research is needed to know for sure, there is a chance this mechanism is relevant to the Ebola virus, which uses the TIM-1 protein to access host cells, or to other pathogens in the ...
