A new study from researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q) reveals how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolved from initially ...

Findings indicate a sharp drop in immunity after Omicron infection, stressing the necessity for updated vaccines to enhance ...

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 ...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with more rapid progression of coronary ...

Researchers have developed a powerful tool that can detect variants of SARS-CoV-2 with high transmission potential before they become widespread. This approach could significantly support public ...

Non-active site mutations such as L50F are crucial for restoring the viral fitness of SARS-CoV-2 main protease. Here, the authors use full-length Mpro protein as substrate and demonstrate that ...

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 ...

A new study found severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was associated with the rapid growth ...
