mutations

The Omicron offshoot carries more than 35 mutations in key portions of the virus compared with XBB.1.5.

Cypriot media reported the discovery Saturday, describing it as having "the genetic background of the Delta variant along with some of the mutations of Omicron".

Omicron counts more than 30 mutations on the spike protein that dots the surface of the coronavirus and allows it to invade cells.

Gilbert said the Omicron variant's spike protein contained mutations known to increase the transmissibility of the virus.

Mu has many mutations that suggest it could be more resistant to vaccines.

A high degree of infection means high levels of virus multiplications, leading to higher chances of random mutations.

Scientists are studying what led to the current surge in cases in India and particularly whether the variant called B.1.617, is to blame.

Viruses change all the time and the one that causes COVID-19 has already undergone several thousand mutations.

The long-term impact for the virus' survival, and whether a limit on the number of mutations makes it less dangerous, remains to be seen.

The aim of the initiative would be to reduce manufacturing backlogs, speed vaccination, and defeat some coronavirus mutations.

The CDC is stepping up efforts to track coronavirus mutations and keep vaccines and treatments effective against new variants.

SARS-CoV-2 mutates in order to maximise its survival chances and when it replicates, tiny errors in its genetic coding are introduced.

So few countries are conducting and sharing surveillance that experts are as worried about the mutations they cannot see as those they can.

Scientists have tracked multiple mutations of Sars-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 since it appeared in China in late 2019.

16 different mutations are tested, and none of them have really had any significant impact but that doesn't mean that the 17th won't.

Donald Trump says he would impose the tariffs until China stops the flow of illegal drugs, particularly fentanyl, into the United States.

Topping the demands of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party is the release of all its leaders, including Khan, who has been jailed on a series of corruption charges since August 2023.

The report highlights that "60 per cent of all female homicides" are committed by "people closely related to them".

Two subsea cables, one linking Finland and Germany and the other connecting Sweden to Lithuania, were damaged in less than 24 hours.

It is clear that adding more lanes and highways doesn't work, because we are still attempting the same approach to solve the issue.

This investment includes efforts to upgrade INOKOM's existing assembly capacity to meet Hyundai's automotive needs.

'C4Cinta', directed by young filmmaker Karthik Shamalan, has set a new benchmark in Malaysian Tamil cinema.

The court denied bail and scheduled case mention on Feb 7 for the submission of forensic, autopsy, and chemist reports.

The classroom assessment approach offers a much more interesting learning ecosystem, says Fadhlina Sidek.

Google and Meta says the government should wait for the results of an age-verification trial before going ahead.
