Study Finds SARS-CoV-2 Has Six Strains |
|
|
|
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Bologna shows that SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing the COVID-19 pandemic, presents at least six strains. Despite its mutations, the virus shows little variability, which is a good news welcomed by researchers working on a viable vaccine. The most extensive study ever carried out on SARS-CoV-2 sequencing drew from the analysis of 48,635 coronavirus genomes isolated by researchers from all over the world.

Researchers Map Largest, Most Complex CRISPR System |
|
|
|
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have mapped and analyzed the largest and most complex CRISPR system in a new study. The researchers studied a complex called Cmr-β, which belongs to the subgroup of so-called type III-B CRISPR-Cas complexes. The researchers believe that the system may have potential applications in biomedicine and biotechnology.
