UTA biologists look at COVID-19 origins
|
|
Todd Castoe, associate professor of biology, and doctoral student Blair Perry have co-authored two papers regarding the COVID-19 virus and its origins.
The first study disputes the findings of an earlier study from another research group claiming that the coronavirus may have jumped from dogs to humans.
The second reconstructs the evolutionary history of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the global COVID-19 crisis.
