Introduction

Genetic Diversity of Coronaviruses (Volume 1) provides a comprehensive analysis of the genetic mutations and host interactions across three major coronaviruses—SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. This volume explores the evolutionary history, mutations, and emerging variants of these viruses, with a focus on understanding how they adapt to different hosts. The book is organized into three parts: Part I covers SARS-CoV, detailing its genetic mutations, host genetic diversity, and new variants. Part II focuses on MERS-CoV, offering insights into mutations and host adaptations. Part III addresses SARS-CoV-2, discussing its evolving variants and the role of host proteins. The book also discusses the connections between coronaviruses and neurological, epigenetic, and AI-related issues

Key Features:

  • - In-depth analysis of genetic mutations in coronaviruses
  • - Exploration of host genetic diversity and virus adaptation
  • - Insight into emerging variants of SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2
  • - Examination of host proteins' role in viral infections
  • - Discussion on the impact of AI and epigenetics on coronavirus research
