Mark Anderson has written an article that was included in the IEEE Spectrum on August 2, 2020. It discussed massive computer power studying the genetic mature of the COVID-19 and its effects on patients.
“A supercomputer-powered genetic study
of COVID-19 patients has spawned a possible breakthrough into how the novel
coronavirus causes disease—and points toward new potential therapies to treat
its worst symptoms.
“The genetic data mining research
uncovered a common pattern of gene activity in the lungs of symptomatic
COVID-19 patients, which when compared to gene activity in healthy control
populations revealed a mechanism that appears to be a key weapon in the
coronavirus’s arsenal.
“The good news is there are already
drugs—a few of which are already FDA-approved—aimed at some of these very same
pathologies.”
