Many viruses, particularly RNA viruses, mutate at a very high rate per genome per replication. One possible explanation is that high mutation rates are selected to meet the challenge of fluctuating ...

Scientists have developed an innovative antibody platform aimed at tackling one of the greatest challenges in treating rapidly evolving viruses like SARS-CoV-2: their ability to mutate and evade ...

The SIRSVIDE model developed by Professor Jian Lu's research group provides a comprehensive framework for studying viral epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics. The simulation results reveal that ...

The stability of ribonucleoprotein complexes of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins differs among variants of concern and the viral evolution of nucleocapsid protein can be understood in the framework of ...

This study systematically elucidates the drug resistance mechanisms of five highly pathogenic viruses, proposes five ...

This month’s story comes from the Bloom lab using their signature deep mutational scanning technique to identify mutations in the surface protein of Lassa virus -called glycoprotein- that escape ...

Do you remember the egg shortage of 2024? It wasn’t just a supply chain issue; it was a consequence of the H5N1 avian influenza -or bird flu- sweeping through poultry populations worldwide. While ...
