Fast-forward 12 months, and RT-qPCR is now ... Armed only with the virus’s genetic sequence, researchers needed to find the best locations for PCR primers and probes on viral RNA.

This is SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It's a type of RNA virus, some of which mutate practically every time they replicate. SARS-CoV-2 is actually one of the rare RNA viruses that ...

The Remarkable and Mysterious Coronavirus Genome The SARS-CoV-2 genome is a strand of RNA that is about 29,900 bases long--near the limit for RNA viruses. Influenza has about 13,500 bases ...

This technology, integrated with the Compute Wormhole, facilitates the on-chain analysis of genetic similarities between two viruses: SARS-CoV-2 (sequenced in Wuhan, 2019) and SARS-CoV (sequenced ...

The virus that causes COVID-19 is called the novel coronavirus. But the family of coronaviruses has long been studied, so what makes this one different? Join Kristin Omberg of the Pacific Northwest ...
