Question

Why is it not unexpected that Covid-19 would be found in high concentrations in bronchoalveloar lavage fluid samples taken from patients'

How is it possible that knowing a RNA sequence would help to define its parent/template DNA sequence?

In regard to research about the genetics of Covid-19, what is the NGS?

Why does Covid-19 cause pneumonia?

Answer 1

Covid 19 is very similar to the SARS virus which also attacked the lungs and caused pneumonia like symptoms. So, the virus travels to the respiratory tract and thus, to alveoli at the end.

We'll, RNA from the RNA virus , which covid 19 is, is actually important , because it is its genetic material in the place of dna. Although dna would be complementary to the RNA only, thus, a template dna structure can be formed for vaccine purposes.

NGS is Next Generation Sequencing, which help in faster and affordable sequencing of the genome , using massively parallel processing.

Covid 19 , belong tk corona virus class of viruses which attack lungs and cause inflammations and development of pus and fluid in the lungs thus, causeing pneumonea
