Researchers developed a high-throughput, rapid antigen SARS-CoV-2 spike protein detection test using allonamers, a new type of aptamers that carry out allosteric regulation instead of catalytic activity.

A new review to be posted in the Virus Research journal aims to provide an overview of the recent advances reported concerning hMPXV virology.

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers investigated variant-wise SARS-CoV-2 reinfection cases in Denmark.

Researchers investigated how antigen concentration and viral load in different specimen types affected the performance of SARS-CoV-2 rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs).

Researchers monitored the remarkably rapid Omicron BA.1 to BA.2 sublineage dominance transition in the Swedish population in early 2022 on a day-to-day basis using a customized lineage-typing RT-PCR assay.

PCR Biosystems has launched Air-Dryable Probe 1-Step Mix, a versatile all-in-one, air-dryable 4x RT-qPCR reagent mix for ultra-sensitive detection of RNA and DNA sequences. Click to read more...

Researchers developed a novel, rapid and accurate qRT-PCR-based method to detect Omicron sublineages BA.1/BA.1.1 and BA.2 in patient samples.

In a discovery that could spur the development of new therapies for more than 40 million HIV patients worldwide, scientists from Rutgers University and the Salk Institute determined the molecular structure of the HIV Pol polyprotein, a protein that plays a critical role in helping the virus propagate itself and spread throughout the body.

In a new study, researchers assessed the influence of severe coronavirus disease 2019 on scrotal infections.
