This study determines the structure of influenza D virus NS1, identifies a novel Zn-binding site and RNA-binding activity in its CTD, and shows their importance for viral replication.

Poor sleep weakens both the magnitude and quality of immune responses, compromising the protective efficacy of influenza vaccination.

This study shows H7 influenza A viruses lose Neu5Gc binding during adaptation to chickens, enhancing transmissibility in poultry but reducing transmission back to wild birds.

This paper describes a method for rapid whole genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 using one-step RT-PCR on a microfluidic platform followed by MiSeq amplicon sequencing.
