Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion.

RNA polymerase II 3 transcribes protein-coding genes into messenger RNA (mRNA). This 12-subunit enzyme works as a complex that directly influences gene expression through its production of pre-mRNA ...

New imaging tools reveal how within an hour of infection, the virus begins to alter our chromosomes to kick-start its own replication.

In the world of viral research, uncovering a virus’s weaknesses is often a painstaking process that requires years of ...
