The first peer-reviewed journal in the field of human gene therapy, providing all-inclusive coverage of the research, methods, and clinical developments that are driving today's explosion of gene ...

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated so that each daughter cell inherits the same genetic information. The two copies, known as "sister chromatids," are held together by a ring-shaped protein ...

To better understand BKPyV replication and ways to prevent it, researchers in the UAB Department of Microbiology have published a single-cell analysis of BKPyV infection in primary kidney cells. Their ...

In a recent research letter published in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, researchers use pathogen genomics of ancient DNA recovered from museum-preserved orangutan teeth to determine the ...

Single-cell analysis helps uncover how the BK virus replicates, opening the door to new drug targets. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a major cause of kidney transplant failure. Without a complete ...

Researchers have discovered how cells activate a last-resort DNA repair system when severe damage strikes. When genetic ...
