A new paper in Genome Biology and Evolution, indicates that while the COVID-19 virus has developed rapidly since 2019, it has done so within limited genetic channels. These genetic limits have ...

When a virus mutates, the world usually finds out the hard way. Variants of influenza and SARS‑CoV‑2 can slip past vaccines and antibody drugs before scientists fully understand what has changed. A ...

University at Buffalo scientists have found evidence that different species of yeast have shared genes originally acquired ...

The ancestor of the virus that causes COVID-19 left its point of origin in Western China or Northern Laos just several years before the disease first emerged in humans up to 2,700 kilometers away in ...

Horseshoe bats are the primary host for the ancestor of the viruses that caused both the 2002 SARS outbreak and the COVID-19 pandemic, but a new study suggests that the wildlife trade transported the ...
