On Thursday (Feb. 13), the Rocky Mountain Laboratories (RML) at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases revealed some of the first images of SARS-CoV-2, the new coronavirus that ...

This is no easy task, because the coronavirus’s strand of genes is a hundred times longer than the virus itself. Recent experiments suggest that, once again, SARS-CoV-2 uses lava-lamp physics to ...

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, these were just a series of arbitrary letters and numbers. Now, we understand these as 'variants of concern,' versions of the SARS-CoV-2 virus with unique genetic codes.
