SARS-CoV-2, The Virus

How Coronavirus Mutates and Spreads by J. Corum and C. Zimmer, April 30, 2020 — NY Times

— The coronavirus is an oily membrane packed with genetic instructions to make millions of copies of itself. The instructions are encoded in 30,000 letters of RNA — a, c, g and u — which the infected cell reads and translates into many kinds of virus proteins.

Inside the Coronavirus Genome by J. Corum and C. Zimmer, April 3, 2020 — NY Times

— The genome of the new coronavirus is less than 30,000 letters long, while the human genome is over 3 billion. Scientists have identified genes for as many as 29 proteins, which carry out a range of jobs from making copies of the coronavirus to suppressing the body’s immune responses.

How Coronavirus Hijacks Your Cells by J. Corum and C. Zimmer, March 13, 2020 — NY Times

— The virus that causes Covid-19 is currently spreading around the world. At least six other types of coronavirus are known to infect humans, with some causing the common cold and two causing outbreaks: SARS and MERS.
