Host-Virus Chimeric Events in SARS-CoV-2-Infected Cells Are Infrequent and Artifactual.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that HVC events observed in RNA-sequencing libraries from SARS-CoV2 infected cells are extremely rare and are likely artifacts arising from either random template switching of reverse-transcriptase and/or sequence alignment errors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Upregulated type I interferon responses in asymptomatic COVID-19 infection are associated with improved clinical outcome.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a blood transcriptome approach to study biomarkers associated with differing severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, comparing severe and mild Symptomatic disease with Asymptomatic COVID-19 and uninfected Controls.

Severe COVID-19 Lung Infection in Older People and Periodontitis

TL;DR: In this article, a review focused on how the dissemination of periodontal bacteria into the lungs could aggravate age-related senescent cell accumulation and facilitate more efficient SARS-CoV-2 cell attachment and replication.

Moderated estimation of fold change and dispersion for RNA-seq data with DESeq2

TL;DR: This work presents DESeq2, a method for differential analysis of count data, using shrinkage estimation for dispersions and fold changes to improve stability and interpretability of estimates, which enables a more quantitative analysis focused on the strength rather than the mere presence of differential expression.

A Novel Coronavirus from Patients with Pneumonia in China, 2019.

TL;DR: Human airway epithelial cells were used to isolate a novel coronavirus, named 2019-nCoV, which formed a clade within the subgenus sarbecovirus, Orthocoronavirinae subfamily, which is the seventh member of the family of coronaviruses that infect humans.

Epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 99 cases of 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia in Wuhan, China: a descriptive study

TL;DR: Characteristics of patients who died were in line with the MuLBSTA score, an early warning model for predicting mortality in viral pneumonia, and further investigation is needed to explore the applicability of the Mu LBSTA scores in predicting the risk of mortality in 2019-nCoV infection.
