The basics: What we know — and don’t know — about the virus spreading in China and beyond
By Andrew Joseph and Helen Branswell
January 22, 2020

It’s been only three weeks since Chinese authorities alerted the World Health Organization that it had an outbreak of unusual pneumonia cases. An astonishing amount of information has been learned in the days since about the outbreak, caused by a new virus that jumped from animals into people. But a frustrating amount of information remains still beyond our grasp.

Scientists and public health officials in China and beyond are scrambling to try to learn more about the virus, which has already spread out from the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the outbreak appears to have started, to other parts of China and several other countries, including the United States.

We all have more questions than answers. But here’s some of what we’ve learned about this new disease threat...

[h=1]Risk of mutations in new coronavirus. BGI sends ultra-high-throughput sequencer to Wuhan for monitoring[/h]
Huada Group said that the new coronavirus may mutate during transmission and affect the sensitivity of RT-PCR detection. The use of high-sensitivity PMseq-RNA detection on ultra-high-throughput sequencers can make up for the shortcomings of RT-PCR and effectively improve Positive rate and can monitor for possible variation. At the same time, the detection strategy of PMseq's wide coverage can effectively provide more information about the pathogens of infection.

To this end, on January 21, Huada Group deployed the second Huada Intelligent Manufacturing (Subsidiary of Huada Group) ultra-high-throughput sequencer DNBSEQ-T7 in Wuhan Huada.

It is understood that the T7 Ultra-high-throughput sequencer equipped with MGIFLP, a one-stop sequencing station, is equipped with an automatic detection system for unknown pathogens, which can realize real-time sequencing. It can simultaneously complete 128 samples of SE50 screening and sequencing within 5 hours. 22 PE100 high-throughput pathogen determination and possible mutation and evolutionary monitoring in 128 samples were completed in an hour.

Huada Group said that the use of T7 provided a strong technical support for the scientific clinical prevention and control of the Wuhan epidemic and the formulation of prevention and control strategies for the public health system.

Prior to January 14, Shenzhen Huada Yinyuan Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd. (formerly known as the Infection Prevention and Control Division), a subsidiary of the listed company Huada Gene (300676, SZ) (a subsidiary of the Huada Group) (hereinafter referred to as Huada) Yin Yuan) announced that it has completed the development of the finished products of the 2019 new coronavirus nucleic acid detection kit (RT-PCR fluorescent probe method). The new coronavirus nucleic acid detection kit can be used for rapid identification and identification of suspected patients, and assist disease control departments and medical institutions to take timely and effective prevention and control measures.
