One mutation may have been crucial to the covid-19 variant JN.1 spreading rapidly around the world last year, demonstrating how quickly the virus can adapt. “A single mutation in JN.1 was key for it ...

Coronavirus mutations similar to those in the UK variant could arise in cases of chronic infection, where treatment over an extended period can provide the virus multiple opportunities to evolve, ...

For the first time during a global outbreak, scientists have been able to use genomic data in real time to track how a virus is traveling around the world, revealing sources of outbreaks and shedding ...

A study from the Los Alamos National Laboratory concluded that a mutation in the novel coronavirus emerged in Europe in February and has since spread. The preprint was posted online and not published ...
