Using patient data from several banks of genomics data, researchers at UC San Diego were able to make similar predictions of aging using either mutations or epigenetic modifications. Their results reveal a common link between two separate but equally prominent theories of aging.

A Virginia Tech study of wildlife common in Virginia found that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, is widespread in animals, particularly around areas of high human activity. The researchers identified variants consistent with those circulating in humans at the time, and one opossum with previously unreported viral mutations, underscoring the potential for changes that can potentially impact humans and their immune response.
