New images from the CDC show the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus in samples taken from the first American case of COVID-19. Coronavirus particles are artificially colored in blue. We’ve all seen pictures ...

It is a near sphere of protein (cross section shown) inside a fatty membrane that protects a twisting strand of RNA--a molecule that holds the virus's genetic code.

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 ...

This image from a scanning electron microscope shows, in orange, the coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19. The virus was isolated from a patient in the U.S. and is seen here emerging from ...

Virus has been isolated, detailed images released On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic as cases of COVID-19 spread around the globe. More than three years later ...

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.

Early in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists predicted the SARS-CoV-2 virus would mutate slowly. They were wrong. Hundreds of thousands of viral mutations and multiple seasonal ...
