Most viruses of the order Mononegavirales have been demonstrated to naturally generate copyback viral genomes. These genomes are critical determinants of infection outcomes; they interfere with standa...

In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Genoyer et al. show that during West Nile virus infection, escaped, cytoplasmic, anti-genomic negative-sense viral RNA triggers an antiviral response via RIG-I activation. Flaviviruses typically hide −vRNA in replication compartments to avoid detection, but some −vRNA leaks, possibly aided by viral capsid proteins.

This study shows that non-standard viral genomes of the "copy-back" type (cbVGs) trigger translation inhibition and stress granule formation during virus infection, independent of, and without affecti...

Columbia bent over backward to appease right-wing, pro-Israel attacks on Gaza protesters — and Trump still cut the school’s federal funding.

The AAUP defends the right to free speech and peaceful protest on college and university campuses, a time-honored tradition protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Donald T...

Earlier this month, the National Institutes of Health issued supplemental guidance indicating it would immediately impose a 15% cap on indirect costs for research grants, an unprecedented and abrup…

While some NIH study sections will resume, advisory council meetings, which make final funding decisions, seem to still be held up.
