There are many different types of mutations which can arise in DNA. This diagram shows the normal order of the bases for one of the strands in a DNA molecule. Only one of the strands of DNA is ...

So, let's break down what mutations actually are and what they could mean for the virus we're facing right now. This is SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. It's a type of RNA virus ...

When a mutation occurs the sequence of the bases changes and this will result in a change of the protein coded by the gene. The location and type of AIP variants described can be seen on the next ...
