It's been five years since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic. As SARS-CoV-2 shifts to endemic status, questions about ...

After examining thousands of SARS-CoV-2 variants, Vopson discovered that 98.92% of mutations involved the deletion of nucleotides, while only 1.08% resulted in additions. This pattern, he argues ...

Each organism has a different code and a varying amount of nucleotides. A human has about three billion of them, whereas a virus, such as SARS-CoV-2 has about 30,000. Your genetic sequence can ...

When the COVID-19 pandemic first began, we saw how quickly the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved. New variants emerged with mutations that increased transmissibility or helped the virus evade our immune ...

CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibodies to detect exposure to SARS-CoV-2: results from a prospective cohort study on COVID-19 ...

SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus. It is contagious in humans and is the cause of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The modelling of the SARS-CoV-2 spatial ...

Small-molecule inhibitors targeting viral proteins could serve as an effective alternative for controlling the spread of COVID-19 at both individual and community levels. In this vein, a recent study ...

The detection of this highly infectious and transmisisble coronavirus variant 4 years after the first case of SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 was first detected in China's Wuhan city, is a reminder ...

In the graphics that follow, Scientific American presents detailed explanations, current as of mid-June, into how SARS-CoV-2 sneaks inside human cells, makes copies of itself and bursts out to ...
