New from the RNA Virology lab: We characterized 2021-2022 vaccine & hybrid immunity cohorts for #SARSCoV2 in QLD AUS and generated an ΔORF3-8 attenuated strain. We validated this virus in neutralization assays with sera panel. We hope for future BSL2 use. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Here, we reanalyse support for claims published in mBio on #SARSCoV2 "recombination" with bacteria. We find no evidence that mutations in SARS-CoV-2 VOC originate from homologous fragments in gut microbiota. Thanks to @JVirology for publishing. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…
