Kei Sato was looking for his next big challenge five years ago when it smacked him — and the world — in the face. The ...

SARS-CoV-2 secondary structure shapes mutation frequencies, constraining viral evolution models predicting fitness can benefit from integrating secondary structure data.

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 ...

A Stanford-led team has found two antibodies that can work together to neutralize the virus that causes COVID-19 in all its ...

Five years after the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic, there has been progress — and backsliding in the ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 has been very good at mutating to keep infecting people—so good that most antibody treatments ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 ...

German intelligence agency BND had assessed in 2020 that the possibility of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing Covid-19 disease, ...

Half a decade since coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 plunged the world into a pandemic, the scars are still healing for those who lost ...

Scientists found that it can bind to human ACE2 receptors, similar to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus behind COVID-19). This suggests it has the potential for animal-to-human transmission. Experts note that ...

The discovery raises concerns about the virus's similarity to SARS-CoV-2 and its potential implications.
