A recent study provides a platform for generating infectious coronavirus genomes using sequence data, examining their capabilities of replicating in human cells and causing diseases in animal models, and evaluating therapeutics and vaccines. Similar approaches could be used to assess the potential of human emergence and pathogenicity for other viruses.
最近的一项研究提供了一个平台,可利用序列数据生成具有传染性的冠状病毒基因组,研究它们在人类细胞中复制以及在动物模型中引发疾病的能力,并评估治疗方法和疫苗。类似的方法可用于评估其他病毒出现并导致人类发病的可能性。
