Russian experts: the new coronavirus mutation situation supports the virus as a natural origin

, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Russian researchers have reported that they have analyzed the mutation of the new coronavirus, and the results support the view that the new coronavirus is a natural origin.
Alexander Panchin of Russia's
Institute for Information Transfer and others wrote in the PeerJ that they analyzed more than 1,000 sets of data from different countries sequencing the genome of the new coronavirus and found 1,251 base mutations, many of which were replaced with urethra, Tass reported.
Panchin told the media that if bats were the natural host of the new coronavirus, bat cells and the new coronavirus could "peacefully coexist" and the virus would mutate less in bats. But when the new coronavirus is transmitted to humans, the body may have a high level of oxidative stress, which causes ostrich in some parts of the virus genome to become uracils.
panchin said the comparison of the new coronavirus with other coronavirus shows that the mutation of the new coronavirus in the early evolution is similar to other coronavirus in nature. After the new coronavirus spread widely in the population, the probability of mutation of replacing ostrich with urine increased significantly as the virus adapted to the human environment. "These conditions suggest that the new coronavirus is of natural origin and shows no signs of human intervention during its evolution," Panchin said. "
