SARS-CoV-2 B.1.617.2 Delta variant replication and immune evasion.

TL;DR: The B.617.1.2 spike protein was able to mediate highly efficient syncytium formation that was less sensitive to inhibition by neutralizing antibody, compared with that of wild-type spike as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Omicron variant is highly resistant against antibody-mediated neutralization: Implications for control of the COVID-19 pandemic

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reported that the Omicron spike was resistant against most therapeutic antibodies but remained susceptible to inhibition by sotrovimab, and that double immunization with BNT162b2 might not adequately protect against severe disease induced by this variant.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biological and clinical significance of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants.

TL;DR: The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants with novel spike protein mutations that are influencing the epidemiological and clinical aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic has been witnessed as mentioned in this paper.

A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin

TL;DR: Identification and characterization of a new coronavirus (2019-nCoV), which caused an epidemic of acute respiratory syndrome in humans in Wuhan, China, and it is shown that this virus belongs to the species of SARSr-CoV, indicates that the virus is related to a bat coronav virus.

ModelFinder: fast model selection for accurate phylogenetic estimates

TL;DR: ModelFinder is presented, a fast model-selection method that greatly improves the accuracy of phylogenetic estimates by incorporating a model of rate heterogeneity across sites not previously considered in this context and by allowing concurrent searches of model space and tree space.
Journal ArticleDOI

I-TASSER: a unified platform for automated protein structure and function prediction

TL;DR: The iterative threading assembly refinement (I-TASSER) server is an integrated platform for automated protein structure and function prediction based on the sequence- to-structure-to-function paradigm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain bound to the ACE2 receptor.

TL;DR: High-resolution crystal structures of the receptor-binding domain of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS -CoV in complex with ACE2 provide insights into the binding mode of these coronaviruses and highlight essential ACE2-interacting residues.
