The study could shed light on harmful bacteria that share antibiotic resistance genes

The stress of spaceflight gives viruses a holiday from immune surveillance, putting future deep-space missions in jeopardy

One virus’ genetic loss can become its evolutionary gain, says a pioneering study

Bats have been the focus of virologists for a long time already as they carry many different kinds of viruses
