Traces of ancient ocean discovered on Mars
A recently released set of topography maps provides new evidence for an ancient northern ocean on Mars. The maps offer the strongest case yet that the planet once experienced sea-level rise consistent with an...
First report of natural recombination of monkeypox virus genome
In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, researchers analyzed monkeypox (MPX) virus (MPXV) sequences during the current 2022 outbreak to investigate whether MPXV is adapting for improved survival and viral transmission...
Study identifies SARS-CoV-2 variants with potential to escape the immune system’s T cell response
A number of existing strains of SARS-CoV-2, as well as other future variants that could arise, have the potential to escape the immune system's cytotoxic T cell response in some portion of the population....
