For the first time, scientists have been able to watch the flu virus live as it infects human airway cells. They developed a ...

Like many viruses, the rabies virus has a relatively small genome compared to most organisms. Scientists have now revealed how the rabies virus can take control of cells even though its genome only ...

A research team led by the University of California, Irvine has engineered an efficient new enzyme that can produce a synthetic genetic material called threose nucleic acid. The ability to synthesize ...

Cell division, the basic means by which genetic information is passed from generation to generation, involves tightly coordinated movements of a cell's DNA. This page describes the major phases of ...
