Cross-species recognition of SARS-CoV-2 to bat ACE2.

TL;DR: The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) could bind to bACE2 from Rhinolophus macrotis (bACE2-Rm) with substantially lower affinity compared with that to the human ACE2 (hACE2) for virus infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

The 2020 Pandemic: Current SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Development.

TL;DR: In this review, the furthest vaccines in the clinical pipeline are summarized and there is an urgent demand for developing a vaccine since no effective therapies or vaccines have been approved to prevent or minimize the spread of the infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Performance of a Point-of-Care Test for the Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Antigen

TL;DR: In this paper, a triplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for the detection of viral nucleoprotein gene and two control targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis of human ACE2 higher binding affinity to currently circulating Omicron SARS-CoV-2 sub-variants BA.2 and BA.1.1

TL;DR: Kandeel et al. as mentioned in this paper found that BA.1.1 and BA.2 have higher binding strength to hACE2 than the prototype and BA1.3.

MAFFT Multiple Sequence Alignment Software Version 7: Improvements in Performance and Usability

TL;DR: This version of MAFFT has several new features, including options for adding unaligned sequences into an existing alignment, adjustment of direction in nucleotide alignment, constrained alignment and parallel processing, which were implemented after the previous major update.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simple, fast, and accurate algorithm to estimate large phylogenies by maximum likelihood.

TL;DR: This work has used extensive and realistic computer simulations to show that the topological accuracy of this new method is at least as high as that of the existing maximum-likelihood programs and much higher than the performance of distance-based and parsimony approaches.
