Evolution of viruses

Researchers in the lab simulate the evolution of the coronavirus to identify dangerous variants

A fast-moving pandemic: Researchers simulated an entire pandemic in the lab – and predicted how a dangerous variant might emerge

Scientists from the Weizmann Institute and Charles University in Prague have succeeded in simulating in the laboratory, within months, an evolutionary trajectory that resembles the development of the coronavirus throughout an entire pandemic. The research may help in the early identification of dangerous variants and in preparing for pandemics.

Did the corona closures lead to the disappearance of a strain of flu?
