Computational search of hybrid human/ SARS-CoV-2 dsRNA reveals unique viral sequences that diverge from those of other coronavirus strains
2020-04-09
Abstract excerpt
The role of the RNAi/Dicer/Ago system to degrade RNA viruses has been elusive in mammals, which prompted authors to think that interferon (IFN) synthesis is essential in this clade relegating the RNAi defense strategy against viral infection as accessory function. We explore the theoretical possibilities that RNAi triggered by SARS-CoV-2 might degrade some host transcripts in the opposite direction although this h...
