Within an infected cell, viral RNA replication occurs at modified cellular membranes, often in association with spherules, virus-induced vesicles approximately 50–100 nanometers in size.

Many positive-strand RNA viruses share a strategy to avoid detection by a cell's immune system until they can increase their numbers. Among them are the SARS-CoV-2 virus, flaviviruses such as West ...

Despite major differences in the life cycles of the seven different classes of known viruses, the genome-replication processes of certain positive-strand RNA viruses, double-stranded RNA viruses ...

Yuta Tsukamoto et. al. Inhibition of cellular RNA methyltransferase abrogates influenza virus capping and replication. Science, 2023 DOI: 10.1126/science.add0875 ...

The findings provide a first step towards understanding how RNA editing affects the replication of the virus responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic - a potentially significant process since ...

The virus begins to co-opt the cell as a critical viral protein and viral RNA localize to the budding organelles, Ahlquist explains. "The virus takes over most of the available membrane.

As featured on the cover of the August 15 issue of G&D, an Argentinian research team, led by Dr. Andrea Gamarnik, report on their recent discovery of a novel mechanism of dengue virus replication.

The other possibility is that the quasi-double stranded secondary structure of hepatitis D virus —a result of 70% sequence self-complementarity — is mistaken for DNA, thereby hijacking RNA ...

Although outbreaks of Ebola virus are rare, the disease is severe and often fatal, with few treatment options. Rather than ...

Hepatitis B virus, a killer of more than one million people each year, is a notoriously wily virus, often lingering and ...
