XFG could become the next dominant COVID variant. Here’s what to know about ‘Stratus’
XFG could become the next dominant COVID variant. Here’s what to know about ‘Stratus’

“Given the number of times this has happened already, it should come as little surprise that we’re now faced with yet another new subvariant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID.

This new subvariant is known as XFG (nicknamed “Stratus”) and the World Health Organization (WHO) designated it a “variant under monitoring” in late June. XFG is a subvariant of Omicron, of which there are now more than 1,000.”

“Did you know SARS-CoV-2 uses the tetraspanin CD9 - the same membrane protein exploited by HIV - to infect human cells? No, SARS-CoV-2 isn’t HIV. But this surprising similarity reveals just how sophisticated this virus really is. Let’s explore🧵”

So, I am redoing my annual BSL-3 facility training, and this is how we have to dress to work with #SARSCoV2 in the Lab. I am investigating the same strain that is circulating everywhere, Omicron variants KP.2 and KP.3. What do you think? 🙇

Team finds flawed data in recent study relevant to coronavirus antiviral development
Team finds flawed data in recent study relevant to coronavirus antiviral development

“Now, in a new study published in Cell, Small and colleagues demonstrate exactly why scientists still don't know how the NiRAN domain works. The findings could have sweeping implications for drug developers already working to design antivirals based on flawed assumptions, and underscore the importance of rigorous validation.

‘It is absolutely important that structures be accurate for medicinal chemistry, especially when we're talking about a critical target for antivirals that is the subject of such intense interest in industry,’"
