International war "epidemic" operation
According to a report on the US "Science News" magazine website on the 12th, American scientists pointed out in the latest issue of "Cell" that a single mutation T372A may be the "culprit" of the new coronavirus infecting human cells.
In the latest study, scientists from Virginia Tech analyzed 182,000 new coronavirus genomes to explore mutations that may help the virus adapt to and spread among humans
Researchers speculate that the T372A mutation can reduce the sugar groups on the surface of the virus.
Research leader and virologist James Wegg Lucarelli said: "Without this mutation, I don't think the new crown epidemic will be as serious as it is now, and the possibility of the new crown virus spreading globally is also less
Andrew Docksay, a computational biologist at the University of Waterloo in Canada, was not involved in the study.
It is not clear how the virus acquired the T372A mutation
Lucarelli said that figuring out how an animal virus acquires the ability to infect humans will help researchers develop better antiviral drugs or vaccines
