Recently, scientists came to conclusion that SARS-CoV-2
or Novel Coronavirus which brought COVID-19 is compose of two separate virus or
it is a hybrid of two virus or a somewhat chimera.
It says it comes from two different species that has
brought to a process called “Recombination”. These two species are bats and
pangolins according to the report or news.
Recombination is the combination and exchange of genes
that could also happen to a RNA viruses according to the news which bring the
combination of bat virus and pangolin virus.
“SARS-CoV-2 is most closely related to bat viruses and most
closely related to pangolin viruses. It just depends on where in the genome you
look.” (Ars Technica)
“This recombination mechanism had already been described
in coronaviruses, in particular to explain the origin of SARS-CoV. It is
important to know that recombination results in a new virus potentially capable
of infecting a new host species. For recombination to occur, the two divergent
viruses must have infected the same organism simultaneously.” (Science Alert)
The discovery could answer the origin of SARS-CoV-2 which
brought the COVID-19 virus.
