inStrain profiles population microdiversity from metagenomic data and sensitively detects shared microbial strains

Matthew R. Olm et al.

Summary: The program inStrain is used to study genetic diversity in microbial populations, particularly in fecal metagenomes of newborn premature infants. Results show that siblings share more microbial strains compared to unrelated infants, and infants born via cesarean section harbor bacteria with higher nucleotide diversity than vaginally delivered infants, potentially due to hospital acquisition. InStrain can be applied to analyze microdiversity and strain comparison in any metagenomic dataset.

Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in raw and treated wastewater in Germany - Suitability for COVID-19 surveillance and potential transmission risks

Sandra Westhaus et al.

Summary: Wastewater-based monitoring showed the presence of SARS-CoV-2 genetic traces in different raw wastewaters in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. However, it was suggested that wastewater might not be a major route for transmission to humans. Further validation for enveloped viruses in wastewater is needed.

Intra-Host Diversity of SARS-Cov-2 Should Not Be Neglected: Case of the State of Victoria, Australia

Alix Armero et al.

Summary: Following the identification of SARS-CoV-2 as the cause of COVID-19, efforts have been made to study the genetic diversity within hosts through quasispecies analysis. Research in Victoria, Australia found quasispecies diversity in 68% of samples, with a majority being nonsynonymous variants, particularly in the spike glycoprotein and ORF1a genes. Shared variants among samples suggested host-to-host transmission, with implications for the virus's epidemiology.

Structural insights into SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and its natural mutants found in Mexican population

Yudibeth Sixto-Lopez et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has three lineages circulating worldwide, two of which have been found with three mutations among the Mexican population; these mutations significantly affect the structural behavior of the S protein and its binding with inhibitors; further experimental studies are needed to explore the clinical implications of these effects.

D936Y and Other Mutations in the Fusion Core of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Heptad Repeat 1: Frequency, Geographical Distribution, and Structural Effect

Romina Oliva et al.

Summary: The spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for the virus to enter host cells, with the fusion core HR1 playing a key role in infectivity. Over time, novel mutations in the HR1 fusion core have been accumulated, with D936Y being one of the most frequent mutations, particularly prevalent in Europe and USA. Molecular dynamics studies show that the D936Y mutation affects the post-fusion state of the protein.

The extent of molecular variation in novel SARS-CoV-2 after the six-month global spread

Ngoc-Niem Bui et al.

Summary: This study characterized the molecular variation of SARS-CoV-2 by analyzing 4230 complete genome sequences and identified four clades with unique nucleotide and amino acid changes. Notable mutations within these clades were observed, indicating significant genetic diversity post the six-month outbreak of COVID-19.

An overview of the effect of bioaerosol size in coronavirus disease 2019 transmission

Marcelo I. Guzman

Summary: The high transmission and mortality rates of COVID-19 have led to the implementation of social distancing measures by multiple governments to prevent virus spread. It is crucial to maintain a distance of at least 2 meters from others to reduce exposure to pathogenic bioaerosols. Individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 can release submicron particles containing the virus in the air up to 3 hours, creating contaminated surfaces that can act as a pathway for the virus to enter the body and cause illness.
