Researchers show SARS-CoV-2 genes can be integrated into the human genome
Researchers in the United States have shown that genes from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) – the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) – can be integrated into the genome of infected human cells. The team says the viral RNA can be expressed as chimeric transcripts with fused cellular and viral sequences.

New deep-learning framework predicts gene regulation at single-cell level
Deep learning, has revolutionized applications such as image interpretation, natural language processing and autonomous driving. Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have developed a new deep-learning framework that predicts gene regulation at the single-cell level. Until now, that process had been limited to tissue-level analysis.

Genomics vs Genetics
Genetics and genomics are very similar disciplines, they both focus on the DNA of an organism with the major difference being scope. Genetics refers to the genes within a genome whereas genomics refers to the genome as a whole. Studying both genetics and genomics is important as seen in the application of the technologies to medicine.

Gene Identification Tools in Bioinformatics
Identification of genes has evolved with the advancements in molecular biology techniques and increased accessible data on genomics and functional genomics information. Bioinformatics helps identify genes within a long DNA sequence. This technique locates a gene simply by analyzing sequence data using a computer (in silico).

Large-scale genome sequencing shows how SARS-CoV-2 mutated
Since the onset of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, which is sweeping the whole world, scientists have been sequencing the RNA genome of the virus. A new study published on the preprint server bioRxiv* describes the results of genomic sequencing of the virus, which may help trace the routes of transmission of the virus from person to person, and from country to country.
