Earlier today, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and Science published the first peer-reviewed studies of the genomic sequences of two SARS virus strains.
A New Variety of Coronavirus
The studies confirm that the virus is a new variety of coronavirus and provide a first look at the molecular components of the virus. The information should help speed efforts to diagnose, treat, and prevent the global epidemic of this deadly disease.
Access to these key papers would normally be reserved for AAAS members, however, you can access the SARS genome and editorial online for free at |
