Initial SARS Genome Data Analysis Using a Bioinformatics Platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dedicated anti-SARS bioinformatics web site was setup in April 2003 at the Centre of bioinformatics (CBI), Peking University (http://antisars.cbi.pku.edu.cn/). A special bioinformatics platform was constructed to analyse the sequence and structure data of SARS coronavirus and other viruses. A total file of 32 SARS coronavirus genome sequences was retrieved from GenBank and mismatches in 30 sites were revealed from the result of multiple sequence alignment. The SARS coronavirus genome sequences can be divided into three groups based on the phylogenetic analysis using the data set constructed from the sequence mismatches.

The current outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)in China threatened humankind worldwide. The coronaviruses contains the largest RNA genome among all other known RNA viruses, therefore the disease etiology can be understood by analyzing the genome sequence of SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we used an ab-intio based computational tool VMir to scan the complete geno...

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spilled over to humans via wild mammals, entering the host cell using angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as receptor through Spike (S) protein binding. While SARS-CoV-2 became fully adapted to humans and globally spread, some mammal species were infected back. The present study evaluated the potential risk of mammals...

Current re-emergence of Nipah virus (NiV) in India caused 11 deaths so far and many patients were kept in quarantine. A thorough study of previous outbreaks occurred in Malaysia, Bangladesh and India represents cases with high rate of fatality due to acute encephalitis. Our work involves genome analysis of NiV for prediction of miRNAs and their targeted genes in human in order to understand enc...
