Mutate

The virus is starting to mutate.

Harmful bacteria cannot mutate to overcome this type of weapon.

Many of the most concerning variants share the same mutations, even when they appear on different continents. That may mean that the virus can mutate in only a limited number of ways.

Ziri's genes could mutate even further.

The alien microorganisms started to mutate and grow.

Knowing the reason for a tumor's genetic instability, mathematician Komarova says, might affect the development of cancer treatment strategies. She explains that some treatments are mutagenic, that is, they make cells mutate. Chemotherapy, she says, is very mutagenic, and small molecule inhibitors are not.

Bruce Alberts, editor-in-chief of Science, said as a result of the work by the American and Dutch scientists, researchers now know how easy it is for the H5N1 virus to mutate, increasing the risk of a global pandemic.

The virus has mutated into a more resilient version.
