The researchers took a “safety-first” approach. They deliberately excluded all viruses that infect humans or animals from the ...
Scientists have made the first step towards creating new species in the lab. Researchers have used artificial intelligence to ...
A petri dish full of dead bacteria isn’t usually cause for celebration. But for Stanford’s Brian Hie it was a game-changer in his efforts to create synthetic life. The perpetrator was a type of virus ...
It should be hard — exceedingly hard — to obtain the synthetic DNA needed to recreate the virus that caused the deadly 1918 influenza pandemic without authorization. But my lab found that it’s ...
A university professor and two students recreated a virus identical to the one that caused the devastating 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. If they can do it, so can terrorists. “The Terrorism Warning ...
In a breakthrough that pushes the boundaries of synthetic biology, researchers have for the first time used artificial intelligence to design viruses capable of infecting and killing bacteria. The ...
When the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic first emerged, many scientists thought it would evolve slowly, like other coronaviruses. But that was one of the first big surprises from the virus ...
Rockville, Maryland—March 26, 2024—Researchers from the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut (FLI), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) have ...
Scientists at the University of Vienna, Austria, have screened great ape specimens obtained from natural history museums to identify DNA viruses. This groundbreaking study provides unique insights ...
