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.
Genetic Data for SARS-CoV-2, April 12, 2020 — Wolfram
— This interactive dashboard displays recent information on the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, patient symptoms and outcomes, and the genetic makeup of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).
How do sources compare? by H. Ritchie et al., March 19, 2020 — Our World in Data
