A new approach to analysis traced the viral DNA across evolution to identify its positions in our genome and understand its ...

In the video, a virus that was genetically engineered to generate the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which is seen in pink, moves to the surface of a cell. The viral protein is then taken up by a cellular ...

Some roundworms carry a genetic element that is so fascinatingly selfish, the survival of offspring hinges on inheriting at least one copy of it. It contains a duo of genes, one encoding a toxic ...

Samples taken in early 2020 from the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, China, contained both the SARS-CoV-2 virus and genetic material from raccoon dogs, according to a new analysis.

SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequencing efforts are a procedure where the genetic makeup of a virus is analyzed – not of the carrier’s genes – to monitor and detect new strains.
