People who contract COVID-19 but never develop symptoms -- the so-called super dodgers -- may have a genetic ace up their sleeve. They're more than twice as likely as those who become ...

A pan-coronavirus vaccine will be designed using features of the virus's genetic code that are shared universally across all different versions of the virus.

The variants aren’t necessarily losing the entire sequence of the gene that encodes the ORF8 protein, but they have acquired mutations that prevent it from being expressed.

Like previous variants, it likely evolved due to random changes in the virus's genetic code as it replicated within the human host. Mutations are a natural phenomenon in the world of virology.

A pan-coronavirus vaccine will be designed using features of the virus's genetic code that are shared universally across all different versions of the virus.

Also, genetic sequencing showed it carried a large number of troubling mutations on the spike protein -- the knoblike structure on the surface of the virus that it uses to grapple onto the cells ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 is accumulating genetic mutations, one of which may have made it more contagious.

Only one of the HLA variants – HLA-B*15:01 – had a strong association with asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, and this was reproduced in two independent cohorts. Risk factors for severe COVID-19, like ...
