Show abstract

The term chimeric virus was not popular in the last decades. Recently, according to current sequencing efforts in discovering COVID-19 Secrets, the generated information assumed the presence of 6 Coronavirus main strains, but coronavirus diverges into hundreds of sub-strains. the bottleneck is the mutation rate. With two mutation/month, humanity will meet a new sub-strain every month. Tracking new sequenced viruses is urgently needed because of the pathogenic effect of the new substrains. here we introduce COVATOR, A user-friendly and python-based software that identifies viral chimerism. COVATOR aligns input genome and protein that has no known source, against genomes and protein with known source, then gives the user a graphical summary.
