Specialists of the American NFerence Data Analysis, found that the omicron-strain of Coronavirus acquired one of the mutations, connecting the sequence of nucleotides, which is present in the genetic code of the virus that causes the cold, as well as in the human genome, transfers Gazeta.ru.
“Including this fragment,” Oomikron “has become more humane, which will allow him to avoid attacks by the immune system,” explained one of the leaders of the research group.
As experts found out, this fragment did not meet in previous variants of coronavirus.
“The mutation probably appeared in the cells of the lungs or gastrointestinal cells, as they can simultaneously contain both coronavirus and SARS-COV-2. In such conditions, viral recombination can occur when different pathogens create copies with each other fragments”, – Scientists said.
