Scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have identified 4,208 previously unannotated open reading frames (ORFs) across 679 human-associated viral genomes using a high-throughput method called massively parallel ...
Harvard University researchers at the Broad Institute report that expansion in situ genome sequencing (ExIGS) linked nuclear abnormalities to hotspots of aberrant chromatin regulation, potentially eroding cell identity. The ...
University of Pennsylvania researchers have discovered a right-handed, antiparallel double-helix inside influenza ribonucleoprotein complexes that slides strand-against-strand as the viral polymerase copies RNA, offering ...
