Genotype-phenotype correlation identified a novel SARS-CoV-2 variant possibly linked to severe disease
(2021)
Abstract:
The geographic location and heterogeneous multi-ethnic population of Dubai (United Arab Emirates; UAE) provide a unique setting to explore the global molecular epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 and relationship between ...
Effect of Common Medications on the Expression of SARS-CoV-2 Entry Receptors in Kidney Tissue
(2020)
Abstract: Besides the respiratory system, severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection was shown to affect other essential organs such as the kidneys. Early kidney involvement during the course ...
SARS-CoV-2 Whole Genome Amplification and Sequencing for Effective Population-Based Surveillance and Control of Viral Transmission
(2020)
BACKGROUND:
With the gradual reopening of economies and resumption of social life, robust surveillance mechanisms should be implemented to control the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike RT-qPCR, SARSCoV- 2 whole genome ...
Multiple early introductions of SARS‑CoV‑2 into a global travel hub in the Middle East
(2020)
Abstract:
International travel played a significant role in the early global spread of SARS-CoV-2. Understanding transmission patterns from different regions of the world will further inform global dynamics of the pandemic. ...
Saliva as an Alternative Specimen for Molecular COVID-19 Testing in Community Settings and Population-Based Screening
(2020)
Purpose:
With the easing of restriction measures, repeated community-based sampling for tracking new COVID-19 infections is anticipated for the next 6 to 12 months. A non-invasive, self-collected specimen like saliva ...
Saliva for molecular detection of SARS-CoV-2 in school-age children
(2021)
Objectives:
The high diagnostic accuracy indices for saliva severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) reported in adults has not been demonstrated in children, and ...
Geographical and temporal distribution of SARS-CoV-2 clades in the WHO European Region, January to June 2020
(2020)
Abstract:
We show the distribution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic clades over time and between countries and outline potential genomic surveillance objectives. We applied three ...
SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19: Viral Genomics, Epidemiology, Vaccines, and Therapeutic Interventions
(2020)
Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic is due to infection caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus that impacts the lower respiratory tract. The spectrum of symptoms ranges from asymptomatic infections to mild respiratory symptoms ...
Single-cell transcriptome identifies FCGR3B upregulated subtype of alveolar macrophages in patients with critical COVID-19
(2021)
Summary:
Understanding host cell heterogeneity is critical for unraveling disease mechanism. Utilizing large-scale single-cell transcriptomics, we analyzed multiple tissue specimens from patients with life-threatening ...
