Harvard scientists create the most complete Ebola genome yet: Can it help contain ... evidence embedded in the RNA reveals that the Ebola virus responsible for killing at least 1,552 people so far ...
The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute late Tuesday released a new Ebola genome browser to assist global efforts to develop a vaccine and antiserum to help stop the spread of the Ebola virus.
The Ebola virus browser aligns five strains of Ebola with two strains of the related Marburg virus. Within these strains, Kent and other members of the UC Santa Cruz Genome Browser team have aligned ...
Ebola virus samples taken from Liberian patients in June 2015 are genetically similar to other Ebola virus sequences from Western Africa, according to research published today in Science Advances.
The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute late Tuesday (Sept. 30) released a new Ebola genome browser to assist global efforts to develop a vaccine and antiserum to help stop the spread of the Ebola virus.

A new genetic analysis of the Ebola virus suggests that it has evolved considerably since its introduction into Sierra Leone in 2014 -- but that its rate of change has been similar to that ...
EBOLA EXPANSION West Africa is experiencing the largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded (map shows data as of August 19).A genetic analysis suggests that the virus causing the epidemic originated in ...
Ebola virus takes the alternative route: its genome encodes a protein that can copy RNA into RNA. This gene (creatively called the polymerase, or L) is the largest one carried by the virus.
An international team of scientists has sequenced the RNA of 99 samples of the Ebola virus, collected during the outbreak's early days in Sierra Leone. Samples were collected from 78 patients ...
But since the Ebola genome is only slightly larger than polio’s, there is no reason why it too cannot be assembled from scratch. Or take the 1918 influenza virus, fragments of which have been ...
