TLDR
A novel bat-borne CoV was identified that is associated with severe and fatal respiratory disease in humans and the amino acid sequence of the tentative receptor-binding domain resembles that of SARS-CoV, indicating that these viruses might use the same receptor.Citations

Towards treatment planning of COVID-19: Rationale and hypothesis for the use of multiple immunosuppressive agents: Anti-antibodies, immunoglobulins, and corticosteroids.
TL;DR: An overview of therapeutic options for COVID-19 is provided, finding essential elements that process SARS-CoV2 cell entry and specific characteristics that allow SARV2 to escape the immune system have the potential as targets for CO VID-19 therapy.

TL;DR: It is suggested that post-acute COVID-19 patients suffered from dyspnoea and shortness of breath even for minimal activities, with a resulting severe disability, and only a few of them were able to perform 6-MWT with poor results.

TL;DR: It was found that assay performance using the same primers and probes with different PCR systems varied and the commercial kit performed well, compared with previously published real-time RT-PCR assays in different PCR Systems and a commercial kit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oral Microbiome and SARS-CoV-2: Beware of Lung Co-infection
TL;DR: Because the oral microbiome is closely associated with SARS-CoV-2 co-infections in the lungs, effective oral health care measures are necessary to reduce these infections, especially in severe COVID-19 patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epigenetic Regulator miRNA Pattern Differences Among SARS-CoV, SARS-CoV-2, and SARS-CoV-2 World-Wide Isolates Delineated the Mystery Behind the Epic Pathogenicity and Distinct Clinical Characteristics of Pandemic COVID-19.
TL;DR: It is found that induced cellular miRNAs can be both a boon and a bane to the host immunity, as they have possible roles in neutralizing the viral threat; conversely, they can also function as proviral factors.

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform
Heng Li,Richard Durbin +1 more
TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trimmomatic: a flexible trimmer for Illumina sequence data
TL;DR: Timmomatic is developed as a more flexible and efficient preprocessing tool, which could correctly handle paired-end data and is shown to produce output that is at least competitive with, and in many cases superior to, that produced by other tools, in all scenarios tested.

TL;DR: The clinical picture was remarkably similar to that of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003 and reminds us that animal coronaviruses can cause severe disease in humans.

Origin and evolution of pathogenic coronaviruses
Jie Cui,Fang Li,Zhengli Shi +2 more
TL;DR: The viral factors that enabled the emergence of diseases such as severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory syndrome are explored and the diversity and potential of bat-borne coronaviruses are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
SARS and MERS: recent insights into emerging coronaviruses
TL;DR: The emergence of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012 marked the second introduction of a highly pathogenic coronav virus into the human population in the twenty-first century, and the current state of development of measures to combat emerging coronaviruses is discussed.
