SARS-CoV-2 codon usage bias at furin site clear up the origin. Landscape of Omicron sub-variants BA.4 and BA.5 (a July, 2022 sample)
2022-08-02
Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 has a 12-nt-long exogenous sequence into the S gene, encoding the polybasic furin cleavage site, including the CGG-CGG arginine dimer. In this regard, I recently posted two facts: ( i ) this 12-nt and the reverse complement sequences are identical to a many highly expressed sequences in human cells, suggesting that a progenitor of SARS-CoV-2 jumped into humans and recombination with human cell mRNA prod...
