New research reveals why some patients may test positive for COVID-19 long after recovery
by Eva Frederick, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research An image of lung cancer cells infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Blue represents DNA, green shows the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, and red represents double-stranded RNA, which occurs when the virus replicates its genome. A new study from the Jaenisch lab suggests that some virus RNA can be reverse transcribed...
