The paper demonstrates the assembly of an infectious EBV clone using synthetic genomics in yeast, revealing the essential role of the small capsid protein BFRF3 in virus production.

This paper shows that simultaneous loss of pUL16 and pUL21 in HSV-1 infected cells prevents cytoplasmic envelopment of viral capsids.

This study compares the gut microbiomes of Ju/hoansi hunter-gatherers, agropastoralists, and Western urban populations, finding higher diversity and health-associated pathways in the former.

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 ORF8 protein modulates lung inflammation and disease severity in mice by affecting macrophage infiltration and function.
