Viruses are so simple in their structure, they may not even qualify as living things. Yet, they are ruthless in their robotic drive to multiply. The only way viruses can reproduce is by inserting ...

Bacteriophages designed with AI kill E. coli faster than a well-studied strain, but the tech needs regulation before moving beyond lab dishes.

The viruses in question are bacteriophages, which only infect bacteria – they can’t infect humans, or any other animals for ...

Whilst some gadgets might feel like luxuries, the truth is there are definitely a few you’ll wonder how you ever lived ...

Some bacterial-infecting viruses use ‘sponges’ to mop up defence molecules, but bacteria can fight back by responding when a ...

Bacteria insert proteins into their outer membrane using a highly conserved apparatus known as the β-barrel assembly ...

Non-reversible nucleotide substitution models best describe strand-specific nucleotide substitution biases of viral genomes.

Scientists have leveraged Artificial Intelligence to design entirely new bacteriophages, viruses capable of attacking and killing bacteria. Researchers at Stanford and Arc Institute successfully ...
