Bacteria drives immunotherapy resistance in head and neck cancer

First ancient human herpesvirus genomes document their deep history with humans: certain human herpesviruses became part of the human genome 2,500 years ago, and have been evolving with and within humans since at least the Iron Age but lost the ability to integrate into human chromosomes early on.
