Homologous recombination within the spike glycoprotein of the newly identified #coronavirus may boost cross‐species transmission from snake to human

The current outbreak of viral pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, China, was caused by a novel coronavirus designated 2019‐nCoV by the World Health Organization, as determined by sequencing the viral RNA genome. Many patients were potentially exposed to wildlife animals at the Huanan seafood wholesale market, where poultry, snake, bats, and other farm animals… Continue reading Homologous recombination within the spike glycoprotein of the newly identified #coronavirus may boost cross‐species transmission from snake to human
