A mobile genetic element in the SARS-CoV-2 genome is shared with multiple insect species

2020-06-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Unprecedented quantities of sequence data have been generated from the newly emergent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causative agent of COVID-19. We document here the presence of s2m, a highly conserved, mobile genetic element with unknown function, in both the SARS-CoV-2 genome and a large number of insect genomes. Although s2m is not universally present among cor...
