Emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 furin cleavage site in humans is constrained to late 2019: implications for COVID-19 origins
Steven E Massey
SARS-CoV-2 possesses a furin cleavage site (FCS) insertion in its spike protein, that is not found in other sarbecoviruses, and is responsible for its transmissibility in humans. T…
Further analysis of metagenomic datasets containing GD and GX pangolin CoVs indicates widespread contamination, undermining pangolin host attribution
Adrian Jones, Steven E. Massey, Daoyu Zhang +2
The only animals other than bats reported to have been infected with SARS-CoV-2-related coronaviruses (SARS2r-CoVs) prior to the COVID-19 pandemic are pangolins. In early 2020 mult…
SARS-CoV-2's closest relative, RaTG13, was generated from a bat transcriptome not a fecal swab: implications for the origin of COVID-19
Steven E Massey
RaTG13 is the closest related coronavirus genome phylogenetically to SARS-CoV-2, consequently understanding its provenance is of key importance to understanding the origin of the C…
Origin of Biomolecular Networks
Heeralal Janwa, Steven E. Massey, Julian Velev +1
Biomolecular networks have already found great utility in characterizing complex biological systems arising from pair-wise interactions amongst biomolecules. Here, we review how gr…
