Pretty cool video that @YaleMed made of our SARS-CoV-2 genomic epidemiology research. They took several images from @nextstrain - so gotta give credit to those hard working folks!

Interesting that anti-SARS-CoV mAb m396, though ineffective against SARS-CoV-2, binds KGD in SARS-CoV (RGD in SARS-CoV-2) as well as ACE2 binding residues (Fig. 4). Could it be engineered to recognise SARS-CoV-2 & block ACE2 & (potential) integrin receptors? #COVID19

We're launching a new UniProt portal covid-19.uniprot.org for the latest pre-release SARS-CoV-2 #Coronavirus and receptor proteins, updated independent of the general UniProt 8-weekly release cycle. Click the link or find the red button on the uniprot.org homepage.
SARS-CoV-2 is a betacoronavirus, and part of the coronavidae family. These viruses have the biggest genomes of any known RNA viruses (≈30 kb). Coronaviruses have very low mutation rates for RNA viruses (≈1e-6 mutations/nt/cycle) because of a proofreading mechanism.
"Of note, these viruses do not appear to cause disease in bats"--
- Nipah virus
- Hendra virus
- SARS-CoV
- SARS-CoV-2
- MERS-CoV
- Ebola
- Marburg
"ability of bats to harbor these viruses with no observed clinical consequence"

Today, the U.S. extended a program, defunded last year, to stop pandemics by studying wildlife viruses.
For today's very first issue of Lancet Microbe, I've written about USAID PREDICT, why it was important, and why it wasn't enough to stop COVID-19:

Cayman now carries detection assays for the 2019 novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). These include nucleic acid detection and indirect ELISA detection tools for evaluation of anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike S1-RBD IgG or IgM in samples.
