By studying how different genes in mice change the course of infection, they could determine what genes make humans more vulnerable to death by Ebola. Newsletter Daily Today’s Headlines ...

A gene from the deadly Ebola virus that allows the virus to escape from the human immune system has been identified in the genome of a group of bats that is found worldwide, including North America.

AVI-7537 is an oligomer that has been crafted to bind to one of Ebola's seven genes. The idea, Wong says, is to shut down that gene, and by so doing disable the Ebola virus.

Scientists are investigating how the cell-destroying abilities of viruses can be leveraged to better attack different cancers, with a new study showing how a gene taken from the Ebola virus could ...

Surviving or succumbing to Ebola may depend on a person’s genes. After infection with the deadly virus, an individual’s genetic makeup could determine how hard Ebola hits — and whether it ...

One mutation. A simple tweak in the Ebola gene — a C got turned into a T. That's all it took to make Ebola more infectious during the West Africa epidemic, scientists report Thursday.

Scientists have identified Ebola-resistant and Ebola-sensitive mouse strains. Not only will the sensitive mice be useful as a relatively quick way to test new Ebola treatments, but by comparing its ...
