It’s considered one of the most effective COVID-19 vaccines. Now, scientists say they’ve hacked the genetic sequence behind Moderna’s revolutionary mRNA vaccine - and shared the code with the world online - for free. The Stanford University researchers sequenced Moderna's patented drug by studying leftover vaccine vials - with permission from US authorities. The mRNA is the key mechanism used in this vaccine. It triggers the body’s own cells to produce the protein needed to defeat the coronavirus.

“Technically, the last step of the supply chain of these mRNA COVID-19 vaccines is the production of the spike protein,” Hubert concluded. “That’s what happens in the cells of your body after you receive the vaccine. You are the globally distributed vaccine manufacturing revolution.” Read more.
