Abstract:
The emergence of the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has given rise to many enigmas, to which there are no answers yet. However, the degree of threat to humanity, due to the fact that by the beginning of February 2021, more than 100 million people were ill in the world, of which 2 million died, led to the fact that the efforts of many researchers were aimed at combating this disease, including massive sequencing of the complete genomes of SARS-CoV-2, as this is necessary for diagnostics and prediction of the epidemiological situation, including in the long term.

Abstract:
The ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease COVID-19 is significantly implicated by global heterogeneity in the genome organization of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The causative agents of global heterogeneity in the whole genome of SARS-CoV-2 are not well characterized due to the lack of comparative study of a large enough sample size from around the globe to reduce the standard deviation to the acceptable margin of error. To better understand the SARS-CoV-2 genome architecture, we have performed a comprehensive analysis of codon usage bias of sixty (60) strain

Abstract SARS-CoV-2 has spread worldwide and caused social, economic, and health turmoil. The first genome assembly of SARS-CoV-2 was produced in Wuhan, and it is widely used as a reference. Subsequently, more than a hundred additional SARS-CoV-2 genomes have been sequenced. While the genomes appear to be mostly identical, there are variations. Therefore, an alignment of all available genomes and the derived consensus sequence could be used as a reference, better serving the science community.

Abstract:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS−CoV−2) has caused the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic that began in late December 2019. The rapid spread of SARS−CoV−2 is primarily due to person-to-person transmission. To understand the epidemiological traits of SARS−CoV−2 transmission, we conducted phylogenetic analysis on genome sequences from >54K SARS−CoV−2 cases obtained from two public databases. Hierarchical clustering analysis on geographic patterns in the resulting phylogenetic trees revealed a co-expansion tendency of the virus among neighboring countries with diverse source

Abstract:
After its emergence in Wuhan, China, in late November or early December 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus rapidly spread globally. Genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2 allows the reconstruction of its transmission history, although this is contingent on sampling. We analyzed 453 SARS-CoV-2 genomes collected between 20 February and 15 March 2020 from infected patients in Washington state in the United States. We find that most SARS-CoV-2 infections sampled during this time derive from a single introduction in late January or early February 2020, which subse

The detection, characterization, and monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 recombinant variants constitute a challenge for public health authorities worldwide. Recombinant variants, composed of two or more SARS-CoV-2 lineages, often have unknown impacts on transmission, immune escape, and virulence in the early stages of emergence. We examined 4213 SARS-CoV-2 recombinant SARS-CoV-2 genomes collected between 2020 and 2022 in California to describe regional and statewide trends in prevalence. Many of these recombinant genomes, such as those belonging to the XZ lineage or novel recombinant lineages, likely or

Background COVID-19 became a global pandemic not long after its identification in late 2019. The genomes of SARS-CoV-2 are being rapidly sequenced and shared on public repositories. To keep up with these updates, scientists need to frequently refresh and reclean data sets, which is an ad hoc and labor-intensive process. Further, scientists with limited bioinformatics or programming knowledge may find it difficult to analyze SARS-CoV-2 genomes. Objective To address these challenges, we developed CoV-Seq, an integrated web server that enables simple and rapid analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genomes. Meth

Abstract:
The causative agent of COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, has a 29,903 bases positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome. RNAs exhibit about 150 modified bases that are essential for proper function. Among internal modified bases, the N6-methyladenosine, or m6A, is the most frequent, and is implicated in SARS-CoV-2 immune response evasion. Although the SARS-CoV-2 genome is RNA, almost all genomes sequenced thus far are, in fact, reverse transcribed complementary DNAs. This process reduces the true complexity of these viral genomes because the incorporation of dNTPs hides RNA base modifications. Here

Abstract In the genomes of different organisms, there are periodicities, i.e. fragments of DNA (RNA)-sequences formed by tandem repetition of the basic monomer (period). The spectra of periodicities with lengths exceeding the ‘noise’ threshold are quite compact and visible even for complete genomes. This makes them an acceptable tool for differentiating closely related objects. The objects of analysis in this work are the periodicities at genomes of three species of coronavirus: MERS, SARS, and SARS-CoV-2. It has been shown that there are markers in the form of periodicities that make it possi

The zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) binds specifically to CpG dinucleotides and recruits other proteins to degrade a variety of viral RNA genomes.
