COVID and the 1918 flu pandemic gave us playbooks on how to prepare for the next pandemic. But we aren’t using it.

Due to the segmented nature of the influenza genome, in which coding sequences are located on individual RNA strands, genomes are readily shuffled in host cells that are infected with more than ...

Scientists have identified a novel influenza A virus (H18N12) in fishing bats in the Colombian Caribbean, revealing genetic ...

To fight the virus that causes influenza, one of the avenues being explored by scientists is the development of drugs capable of destabilizing its genome, which is made up of eight RNA molecules.

To maintain vaccine efficacy, WHO regularly updates influenza vaccine strains based on global epidemiological, virological, ...

How do genomes from E. coli and yeast help researchers? They shed light on the basic principles of genomics. The Human Microbiome Project sequences microbial genomes for this purpose. These ...

Genome British Columbia (Genome BC) is investing in research to address the threat of H5N1, an avian influenza virus that poses a risk to poultry. Recently, British Columbia identified the first ...

Pigs are moderately susceptible to infection with a bovine-derived H5N1 avian influenza virus but don't spread it to other ...
