A novel approach to predict mutations within the SARS-CoV-2 spike

A study posted recently to the bioRxiv* preprint server demonstrated that the emergence of new spike variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) can be predicted.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant infection in a domestic cat

The first published case describing the Delta variant of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in a domestic cat in the United States highlights the realistic scenario of spillover infections with emerging viral variants that threaten human and animal health.

New method may be effective at quantifying DNA adenine methylation in complex organisms

For decades, a small group of cutting-edge medical researchers have been studying a biochemical, DNA tagging system, which switches genes on or off. Many have studied it in bacteria and now some have seen signs of it in, plants, flies, and even human brain tumors.

Study proposes Omicron variant may be derived from recombination of two early SARS-CoV-2 PANGO lineages

A recent study showed that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant is a chimera of two earlier PANGO lineages of SARS-CoV-2.

Oligodendrocytes may have a different role in the development of multiple sclerosis, study finds

An international team of researchers led by Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have discovered that a cell type in the central nervous system known as oligodendrocytes might have a different role in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) than previously thought.
