#Coronavirus Reinfection:

🧬1st infection: March (symptomatic)

🧬2nd infection: August (asymptomatic)

🧬Two virus genomes differed by 24 nucleotides

🧬Proves that 2nd infection was not tied to 1st infection

🧬2nd infection caused by #reinfection, not prolonged viral shedding Neutralizing Antibody:

🧬Tested NEGATIVE for IgG against SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein 10 days after symptom onset of 1st infection AND 1 day after hospitalization for 2nd infection

🧬Thus unknown if patient mounted neutralizing antibody response to 1st infection, didn’t last if yes

National DNA Day:

🧬April 25

🧬Commemorates the day in 1953 when Watson, Crick, Wilkins, Franklin and colleagues published papers in the journal @nature on the structure of DNA

🧬Also commemorates the completion of the Human Genome Project in April 2003, took 13 years

#DNADay DNA Double Helix:

🧬The two #DNA strands are reverse-complements

🧬Reading one strand in #reverse order and exchanging each base with its #complement gives the other strand

🧬A and T are complements, C and G are complements

DNA Sequence: AGTAGCAT
Reverse-Complement: ATGCTACT

Data Needs A Home:

🧬The population of every DNA word is equivalent to the population of its reverse-complement DNA word in the SINGLE-STRANDED human genome

🧬Population count of 1.4 trillion DNA words

🧬Does anyone want a copy of this data before files are deleted?

#Genomics Can You Use This #Data?

🧬Demonstrates the inherent inversion symmetry structure for all DNA elements in the single-stranded genome

🧬Demonstrates the absence of analog symmetries between reverse pairs and complement pairs of DNA elements

doi.org/10.1210/en.201… Functional Genomics:

📌Describes the relationship between an organism’s genotype (genetic makeup, DNA sequence) and phenotype (observable traits) on a global scale

📌A key characteristic is the genome-wide scale, rather than a more traditional “gene-by-gene” approach
