Mutation

Researchers studied over 800 clinical assays of renal cell cancer with a specific genetic mutation, the largest series of its kind

Mutation changes result in an ionic imbalance in the neurons that ultimately weakens control and coordination

Predicting the carcinogenicity of tissue-specific driver mutations may help detect and intervene in the early stages of cancer development

An artificial neural network was trained to spot tiny mutations in genetic sequences better and faster than human eyes

Commercially available rapid antigen tests can detect past and present variants of concern

To predict the next SARS-CoV-2 variants, researchers must pool their resources—and their samples

Combination tests can detect and differentiate SARS-CoV-2, influenza A and B, and respiratory syncytial viruses

Routine sequencing has detected a new variant in South Africa, called B.1.1.529 or "Omicron"

The new variant harbors 30 mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

Viral SNPs can be used to track new coronavirus variants, while SNPs in patient genomes could influence clinical care
