AI Article Synopsis
- A detailed study of the 2019-nCoV genome has shown notable differences from SARS and other similar coronaviruses.
- Researchers found 380 specific amino acid changes that distinguish 2019-nCoV from these related viruses.
- These differences may have led to unique functional and disease-causing characteristics in 2019-nCoV.
Article Abstract
An in-depth annotation of the newly discovered coronavirus (2019-nCoV) genome has revealed differences between 2019-nCoV and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or SARS-like coronaviruses. A systematic comparison identified 380 amino acid substitutions between these coronaviruses, which may have caused functional and pathogenic divergence of 2019-nCoV.
