SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV: Virtual screening of potential inhibitors targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity (NSP12)

Zijing Ruan et al.

Summary: The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic, with over six million people infected worldwide. Despite the lack of officially licensed drugs, the NSP12-NSP7-NSP8 complex is identified as a potential target for fighting the virus, with virtual screening and docking scores showing promising results for eight selected compounds.

The arrival and spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Colombia

Juan David Ramirez et al.

Summary: Phylogenomic analysis of 88 infected individuals from different regions of Colombia revealed eleven different lineages, indicating multiple introduction events. The most frequent Pangolin lineages were B.1 and B.1.5, with B.1 being associated with prior travel to high-risk areas.

Spike mutation D614G alters SARS-CoV-2 fitness

Jessica A. Plante et al.

Summary: The D614G substitution in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein enhances viral replication and infectivity in human lung epithelial cells, primary airway tissues, and hamsters. This variant may increase transmission in the upper respiratory tract and doesn't seem to significantly reduce vaccine efficacy. Further research on therapeutic antibodies targeting the circulating G614 virus is recommended.

Evaluating the Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Spike Mutation D614G on Transmissibility and Pathogenicity

Erik Volz et al.

Summary: The study suggests a positive selection for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variant D614G in the UK, but no evidence of differences in COVID-19 mortality or clinical severity in patients infected with this variant. 614G is associated with higher viral load and younger age of patients compared to 614D.

Phylogenetic analysis of SARS-CoV-2 in Boston highlights the impact of superspreading events

Jacob E. Lemieux et al.

Summary: Analysis of 772 complete genomes of SARS-CoV-2 from early in the Boston-area epidemic shows multiple introductions of the virus, with two distinct superspreading events. One at a nursing facility resulted in rapid transmission and significant mortality, while the other at an international business conference led to sustained community transmission and widespread spread. The genetic variation generated by these events differed substantially, indicating varying transmission dynamics in superspreading events.

High Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Genetic Variation and D614G Mutation in Pediatric Patients With COVID-19

Utsav Pandey et al.

Summary: The study analyzes the relationship between viral genetic variants and clinical characteristics in children with COVID-19. Findings include higher viral load in symptomatic and children under 5, the presence of the D614G mutation in the majority of isolates, and an increased viral mutational rate in Southern California with evidence of multiple introductions of the virus. The phylogenetic clade 20C may be associated with severe disease, but more research is needed due to the small sample size.
