Scientists pinpoint the protien responsible for mutation of the virus. The Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 was deadlier than any ...

Researchers have taken a significant step toward what they call a “Raman genome” — a spectroscopic fingerprint of viral RNA ...

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 ...

Routine genomic surveillance in California uncovered a rare 69-nucleotide in-frame deletion in the SARS-CoV-2 nsp3 protein, ...

SARS-CoV-2 possesses a characteristic surface protein, the spike protein, which plays a central role in viral entry into host cells. The evolution of spike protein mutations has been an important ...

Researchers from University of Tsukuba and Institute of Science Tokyo have identified nonrandom patterns in the emergence of spike D614 reversions in publicly available SARS-CoV-2 genomic data.

Figure illustrates the overall symptomatology of Long COVID (panel A), and the shifting prevalence of Long COVID symptoms across SARS-CoV-2 variants, including Wild-type, Alpha, Delta, and Omicron ...

Despite the rapid development of several vaccine platforms, long-term control of COVID-19 is limited by short-lived immunity (about 6 months) and the emergence of variants of concern, such as SARS-CoV ...

The Global Virus Network (GVN), representing eminent human and animal virologists from more than 90 Centers of Excellence and Affiliates in over 40 countries dedicated to advancing research, ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors. Blocking this interaction with inhibitors could prevent ...

Individuals with compromised immunity and persistent COVID-19 infections can harbor drug-resistant variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which have the potential to spread to the general population, ...
