U.S. researchers identify evolutioary orgins of SARS-CoV-2

Tue, 2020-07-28 21:28 — mike kraft

Researchers identify evolutionary origins of SARS-CoV-2 | Penn State University By reconstructing the evolutionary history of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, an international research team of Chinese, European and U.S. scientists has discovered that the lineage that gave rise to the virus has been circulating in bats for decades and likely includes other viruses with the ability to infect humans. The findings have implications for the prevention of future pandemics stemming from this lineage.

Hoping to Understand the Virus, Everyone Is Parsing a Mountain of Data
