Several times since the coronavirus pandemic began, scientists from around the world announced that they’ve discovered new mutations in the virus’ genetic material, sending shivers down the spines of ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 is accumulating genetic mutations, one of which may have made it more contagious. The number of virus strains present in each zip code in Houston during the second wave ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say their new studies suggest that the first pandemic-accelerating mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, evolved as a way to correct ...

Coronavirus doesn't seem to have changed in a way that makes people less or more sick. There's some evidence that a specific mutation called D614G may have made it easier for the virus to be ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say their new studies suggest that the first pandemic-accelerating mutation in the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, evolved as a way to correct ...

In a recent study posted to PLOS Pathogens, researchers analyzed the structural function of the genetic background of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the appearance and ...

There’s considerable discussion about whether COVID vaccines are responsible for the barrage of variants that keep hitting us. Is selective pressure driving this – like with bacteria and antibiotics?
