Viral surveillance and predictive modeling are used to map mutational escape pathways and inform proactive antibody design against likely future variants rather than only current circulating strains.

Fallout‘s Forced Evolutionary Virus, or FEV, is an artificial megavirus created by West-Tek’s NBC Division in the mid-2070s. It’s transmissible by injection, direct contact, or an aerosol solution.

The ancestor of the virus that causes COVID-19 left its point of origin in Western China or Northern Laos just several years before the disease first emerged in humans up to 2,700 kilometers away in ...

A new paper in Genome Biology and Evolution, indicates that while the COVID-19 virus has developed rapidly since 2019, it has done so within limited genetic channels. These genetic limits have ...

Researchers have tracked how the COVID-19 virus mutates long term, revealing patterns that could help predict the emergence of future variants. In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, as the world ...
