SARS-CoV-2 secondary structure shapes mutation frequencies, constraining viral evolution models predicting fitness can benefit from integrating secondary structure data.

Noda and Hashiguchi began working together shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic began, and are now trying uncover the atomic structure of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to better understand its pathogenesis.

or SARS-CoV-2, binds to ACE2, a receptor on the host cells, which allows the virus to enter the cells and infect it. Binding is the first step for infection, and several mutations in previous variants ...

But to some, the coronavirus outbreak is reminiscent of epidemics that have caused a panic in recent memory, including SARS, MERS, the Zika virus, and swine flu. So how exactly does the ...

Scientists in China have identified a new bat coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, capable of infecting humans by binding to the ACE2 ...

His research involves studying the structure of viruses and how they interface with the cells of their hosts ... As such, many tick- and mosquito-borne diseases like the ones Kuhn studies are becoming ...

Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: COVID-19 myths have spread just about as quickly as the disease itself, but one myth in particular just won't go away: that SARS-CoV-2, the virus ...

There was a second, much smaller outbreak of SARS in 2004, linked to a medical lab in China. It probably occurred as a result of direct contact with the virus, rather than being transmitted from ...

Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology have discovered a new coronavirus in bats named HKU5-CoV-2, which closely ...

When SARS-CoV-2 first began spreading across the globe, not every lab was equipped to study it directly. The virus behind the current pandemic is highly pathogenic and transmissible, leading the US ...

DNA is a super flexible and modular structure, meaning that with the right sequences ... The researchers tested the cones’ ability to assemble around four viruses—influenza A, Zika, chikungunya, and ...
