Discovery of a third RNA virus linage in extreme environments Jan 17, 2024
A research group led by University of Tsukuba has discovered a novel RNA viral genome from microbes inhabiting a high-temperature acidic hot spring. Their study shows that RNA viruses can live in high-temperature environments (70℃-80℃), where no RNA viruses have been observed before. In addition to the two known RNA virus kingdoms, a third kingdom … Read more
