COVID-19 carries its genetic material in single strands of RNA and invades human cells via the receptor angiotensin (peptide hormone) converting enzyme II (ACE2). Lung cells that have ACE2 expression may be the main target cells during 2019-nCoV infection, but it also can invade cardiovascular, digestive, and urinary tract systems. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a [...]
