Researchers have discovered a new ‘hidden’ gene in SARS-CoV-2 — the virus that causes COVID-19 — that may have contributed to its unique biology and pandemic potential. In a virus that only has about 15 genes in total, knowing more about this and other overlapping genes — or ‘genes within genes’ — could have a […]

People have different susceptibilities to SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the COVID-19 pandemic, and develop varying degrees of fever, fatigue, and breathing problems — common symptoms of the illness. What might explain this variation? Scientists may have an answer to this mystery. Source: Observed COVID-19 variability may have underlying molecular sources
