Ramp Sequences in SARS-CoV-2




The percentage of SARS-CoV-2 genes that have a ramp sequence present in both tissues.




Ramp sequences are present in various genes withn th SARS-CoV-2 genome. However, it depends on the specific infected tissue whether the ramp sequence is present.

Ramp Sequences in Human Entry Factors



We searched for ramp sequences in 26 human genes that code for SARS-CoV-2 entry factors. Seven of these entry factors had ramp sequences within a variety of different tissues, potentially influencing tissue-specific susceptability to SARS-CoV-2 infection and proliferation.




Several of the human genes associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection (various factors part of the infection pathway) contain ramp sequences. Here we present the presence of those ramps across 62 tissues in thee human body.
