The paper quantifies within-host SARS-CoV-2 genetic diversity across animal species and finds deer exhibit higher diversity, likely due to higher mutation rates, longer infections, and selective pressures.

This study uses phylogenetic analysis and genome-wide association studies to investigate SARS-CoV-2 transmission between humans and animals, identifying species-specific mutations.

This study identifies PCBP2's role in limiting HCV virion assembly and shows that an alternative RNA conformation facilitates assembly independently of PCBP2.
