Intragenomic rearrangements help explain how SARS-CoV-2 variants arise

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers presented the intragenomic rearrangements of β-coronaviruses (CoVs), including severe acute respiratory syndrome CoV 2 (SARS-CoV-2).

Lower exosome component 2 expression protects against clinical SARS-CoV-2 infection

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers demonstrated that the lower expression of EXOSC2 human protein safeguards from clinical coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This protective effect was via the reduced EXOSC2 expression-associated suppression of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication.

Development of RT-qPCR assays for differentiating SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants

In a recent study posted to the medRxiv*preprint server, a team of researchers from Israel developed and validated novel reverse transcriptase - quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assays. The new assays enable the rapid and high throughput identification and differentiation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants.
