A study led by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, in which the Universitat de València participates, concludes that the specific characteristics of each patient, such as gene expression, may be a decisive factor in the development of clinical strategies aimed at addressing and controlling possible comorbidities.
 
   Researchers examine bat genome assemblies to find solution for COVID-19Researchers examine bat genome assemblies to find solution for COVID-19
 
While questions remain about the origin of COVID-19, many scientists now believe the virus spread to humans from bats. Two Texas Tech University researchers are now taking a closer look at whether bats also could offer a solution to the pandemic.

Novel fungal compound can turn on p53 gene in cancer cellsCancers cells use a special technique to propagate; they delete their "programmed death" gene through mutation, "forget" to die when their lifetime is over, and continue to grow instead.

 Tracing coronavirus habitats with genomics
 
Tracing coronavirus habitats with genomicsNow, a new study by researchers at the University of Ottawa and published on the preprint server bioRxiv in June 2020 reports the differences in genomes of viruses that are exposed to antiviral proteins vs. those that are not. This host-derived pressure on the virus to adapt may help devise newer ways to build an effective vaccine.
