Unexpected novel Merbecovirus discoveries in agricultural sequencing datasets from Wuhan, China [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
In this study we document the unexpected discovery of multiple coronaviruses and a BSL-3 pathogen in agricultural cotton and rice sequencing datasets. In particular, we have identified a novel HKU5-related Merbecovirus in a cotton dataset sequenced by the Huazhong Agricultural University in 2017.

Towards Interpreting Zoonotic Potential of Betacoronavirus Sequences With Attention [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Current methods for viral discovery target evolutionarily conserved proteins that accurately identify virus families but remain unable to distinguish the zoonotic potential of newly discovered viruses. Here, we apply an attention-enhanced long-short-term memory (LSTM) deep neural net classifier to a highly conserved viral protein target to predict ...

Development of a Biosensor Based on Angiotensin‐Converting Enzyme II for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Detection in Human Saliva

Frontiers in Sensors, 2022
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the novel coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. Infection in humans requires angiotensin-converting enzyme II (hACE2) as the point of entry for SARS-CoV-2.

COVID-19: a perspective focus on IL-17/Th17

Iatreia, 2022
Interleukin 17 (IL-17)-producing helper T cells (Th17) and IL-17 play an important role in the defense against extracellular bacteria and fungi; however, persistent secretion of IL-17 is also an important component in the pathogenesis of many ...

Rice‐derived SARS‐CoV‐2 glycoprotein S1 subunit vaccine elicits humoral and cellular immune responses

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Since 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), the virus causing COVID‐19, has been spreading and mutating globally despite the expedited approval of many commercial vaccines. Therefore, developing safe, effective and affordable vaccines remains essential to meet the global demand, particularly in developing countries.
