The Omi Keron strain may contain a gene fragment of the virus that causes the common cold

American researchers have discovered that at least one mutation in the Omi Keron strain of the mutated new coronavirus is caused by a special gene segment, and this gene segment is present in many other viruses, including a virus that causes the common cold
.

According to a report on the Reuters website on the 4th, researchers from nference, a data analysis company in Cambridge, Massachusetts, found that this gene fragment did not appear in several previously discovered versions of the new coronavirus, but was owned by a variety of other viruses and the human genome, including Coronavirus HCoV-229E, which causes the common cold, and HIV virus, which causes AIDS
.

Researchers believe that this gene fragment may allow the Omi Kiron strain to escape the human immune system, which means that the Omi Kiron strain may be more easily spread, but the symptoms of the infected person are milder or even asymptomatic
.

This research report was published on the website of a non-profit organization sharing scientific research information in the United States on the 2nd, without peer review
.

Previous studies have shown that the new coronavirus and common cold coronavirus can hide in the cells of the human lung and gastrointestinal system
.

This creates conditions for viral recombination, allowing the two different viruses in the host cell to interact and replicate independently to produce new "copy" containing genetic material from the two viruses
.

The main researcher of the report, Vinki Sundararajan, said that several generations of virus recombination may have occurred before the discovery of the Omi Keron strain
.

At present, there is no systematic research data on the transmission, pathogenicity and immune escape ability of the Omi Keron strain in the world, and further research is needed to understand the characteristics of this strain
