The XFG COVID-19 variant, aka "Stratus," is spreading rapidly in the U.S. as cases climb. Here's what to know about symptoms ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

A study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals a surprising evolutionary insight: sometimes, losing genes rather ...

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

Researchers have combined two gene editing methods. This enables them to quickly investigate the significance of many genetic mutations involved in the development and treatment of cancer.

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 symptomatic to ...

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 ...
