Genomic differences selected through evolution may offer clues as to why COVID-19 outcomes vary widely

Though underlying medical conditions play an important role, many aspects of why COVID-19 severity can differ vastly from one to another has remained unclear.

A new study identifies dozens of genomic variations that may drive these hard-to-predict differences in clinical outcomes. According to work led by University of Pennsylvania scientists, genomic variants in four genes that are critical to SARS-CoV-2 infection, including the ACE2 gene, were targets of natural selection and associated with health conditions seen in COVID-19 patients.

What will be the next variant of COVID-19, according to science

Scientists from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and the University of Massachusetts Medical School, in the United States, developed a “machine learning” model that can analyze millions of genomes from coronavirus samples and predict which viral variants will dominate and likely cause new waves. The model was called PyR0 and could help researchers identify which parts of the viral genome are least likely to mutate. and thus are good targets for vaccines that will work against future variants. The results were published in the journal Science.

Blood Test Aims to Measure COVID Immunity

A small blood sample and 24 hours might be all that's needed to find out how strong your immune system is against a first or repeat coronavirus infections. Scientists created a test that indirectly measures your T-cell response -- an important, long-term component of immunity that can last long after antibody levels fall off – to a challenge by the virus in whole blood

BA.2.75: A Dark Horse In The Covid Pandemic

To have such unique mutations at this stage of the pandemic when the virus has mutated into hundreds, even thousands of competing strains is astounding. These mutations likely have health officials on high alert, as a wealth of new mutations could indicate increased transmissibility or immune evasion if the variant catches fire like its predecessor.
