Medicine & TechnologyA new coronavirus variant known as the Double Mutant COVID-19 variant has recently been detected in California by Stanford University scientists.
Scientists revealed how the evolution of a gene variant makes humans susceptible to tuberculosis. They were able to track the rise and fall of the illness for the past thousands of years.
A new study reveals how warmer global climates could create more serious mutations that have worse effects on organisms, affecting their prospects for survival in the future.
A new study presented that Pfizer and BioNTech vaccines are likely to be effective against the highly-communicable mutant strain of COVID-19 discovered in the UK.
A mutation of the coronavirus has been discovered among 35 newly infected patients in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It is different to the one found originally in the UK, but doctors do not yet know if it is highly infectious.
Experts say it's no longer surprising that new variants have already emerged in the US. However, they emphasize that the unchecked transmission of the virus offers abundant opportunities for it to mutate.
An early study shows that the COVID-19 vaccine of Pfizer works against a key mutation detected in variants of the virus in the United Kingdom and South Africa, which are spreading faster compared to the original strain.
A new study recently found that identical twins don't share the same DNA always, opposite the common knowledge that they form the identical egg and receive the same genetic material from their parents.
NBC News reported that several European nations had banned flights from the UK over concerns regarding a new coronavirus variant that forced millions in Britain to cancel their plans for Christmas.
A new experiment proves the D614G coronavirus strain also replicates faster than the original strain. It may help make COVID-19 vaccines more effective.
