Compartmentalized Replication of SARS-Cov-2 in Upper vs. Lower Respiratory Tract Assessed by Whole Genome Quasispecies Analysis
26 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
We report whole-genome and intra-host variability of SARS-Cov-2 assessed by next generation sequencing (NGS) in upper (URT) and lower respiratory tract (LRT) from COVID-19 patients. The aim was to identify possible tissue-specific patterns and signatures of variant selection for each respiratory compartment. Six patients, admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, were included in the study. Thirteen URT and LRT were...
