Ebola is transmitted through direct contact ... to tell whether the severity of this outbreak was preordained by the genome, Sabeti said. “There are hundreds of mutations that separate it ...

The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has just 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 UC ...

The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute has 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 team led by ...

For the first time, scientists have been able to follow the spread of an Ebola outbreak almost in real time, by sequencing the virus' genome from people in Sierra Leone. The findings, published ...

A new analysis of the Ebola genome shows the dreaded virus acquired several new mutations during the course of the 2013-2016 West African Epidemic, making it even better at infecting human cells.

The report, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, described 175 complete Ebola genome sequences generated from virus samples in patients. The samples were collected between Sept. 28 ...

But, as we noted, Ebola's genome is encoded by RNA. Viruses handle this discrepancy in two ways. Some of them, like HIV, encode an enzyme that copies RNA into DNA, and additional copies of the ...

Next to the map, though, was something you don’t usually see: a family tree, showing the Ebola genome as it mutated from host to host. Biostatisticians had used viral genomes to piece together ...

"The genome sequence of a virus is the blueprint ... They've discovered that the Ebola virus that has killed more than 1,500 people originated in Guinea, with one transmission from an animal ...

We’ll help.” The genome sequencing that we do is so critical to the development of diagnostics, treatments and vaccines. The diagnostic that is needed to even confirm Ebola is only possible ...

The UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute late Tuesday (September 30) released a new Ebola genome browser to assist global efforts to develop a vaccine and antiserum to help stop the spread of the ...
