Researchers at Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Albert Einstein Medical College have reported the development of a promising herpes vaccine using a novel approach to defeating the prevalent virus. The new vaccine works by inducing antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), a well studied immuno-response, that signals the immune system to destroy infected cells. Read the…

Viruses responsible for the common cold, polio, and hepatitis C and HIV are all single-stranded RNA pathogens. Scientists at University of Leeds and University of York have identified the code responsible for the infection by these most common and, at times, most deadly RNA viruses.  The discovery is important as it should lead to new research to block the deployment of…

An article published in Nature Methods today by scientists at Georgia Tech describes a method of tracking ribonucleotides in DNA which, when incorporated during DNA repair, can be an important source of mutations leading to certain neurological (and other) diseases.  The method called Ribos-seq will help researchers understand how ribonucleotides can change the function of cellular DNA.  Similar methods were also…

Scientist at EMBL-EBI have published a new approach to single cell genomics based on single cell analysis using RNA-seq.  The method is called single-cell latent variable model (scLVM) and was published in the Nature Biotechnology this week.  The new method helps scientists create a more accurate picture of gene expression in different cell types, and reveals hidden subtypes of cells.  Read…
