How's it going youtube?
00:02 - 00:04
My name is Victor Ramirez and I am a student
00:05 - 00:05
at A.
00:05 - 00:05
S. U.
00:06 - 00:07
Of their bio 2 82 program.
00:08 - 00:10
I'm going to be bringing to you everybody's favorite topic
00:11 - 00:11
of the coronavirus.
00:13 - 00:16
So our job today is to analyze a news article.
00:17 - 00:23
Mine will be the coronavirus is a master of mixing
00:23 - 00:24
his genome wearing scientist.
00:25 - 00:30
This is by Roxanne Rioux handy and she discusses how
00:30 - 00:34
the coronavirus is constantly changing and this is a big
00:34 - 00:35
issue for us.
00:35 - 00:38
Just because with it constantly changing, it makes it harder
00:38 - 00:42
for the vaccine vaccines to work as well as how
00:43 - 00:46
affect how much of a timeline that we have to
00:47 - 00:49
make sure that this does not affect us any further
00:49 - 00:50
than it already has.
00:52 - 00:58
So the the rock rock hamdi uses the article of
00:58 - 01:01
their primary source of the evolutionary history of Ace Two
01:01 - 01:07
usage within the coronavirus sub genus uh saber B co
01:07 - 01:14
virus. So uh to begin recombination a process which utilizes
01:14 - 01:17
DNA. To be broken down and recombined to make new
01:17 - 01:22
leal's. This process is so bizarre and that it happens
01:23 - 01:23
so fast with coronavirus.
01:24 - 01:29
The coronavirus is able to recombine its DNA structure so
01:29 - 01:35
fast because it's so widespread, constantly recombining to be better
01:35 - 01:36
effective against us.
01:37 - 01:40
And it is very scary in that this is actually
01:41 - 01:46
approved by the primary literature that they that Romney uses.
01:49 - 01:53
So as we all know, uh this did originate in
01:53 - 01:57
the chinese province of Wuhan, but I actually it actually
01:57 - 02:01
did originate somewhere else and do none.
02:02 - 02:04
It's another province very close to Wuhan.
02:05 - 02:08
But as we know, the bats were carrier for this
02:09 - 02:12
uh people have consumed them, People came into contact with
02:12 - 02:17
them and that contact made recombination very easy.
02:18 - 02:20
It was constantly spreading constantly recombining.
02:21 - 02:24
And this is further proven by the literature.
02:26 - 02:30
So, within the literature it is discussed, The team that
02:30 - 02:34
found this discusses how they discovered this.
02:35 - 02:41
Uh so the coronavirus is uses spike proteins two uh
02:42 - 02:47
affect the ace to cite that the uh that they
02:47 - 02:50
developed through recombination and to prove that it was actually
02:51 - 02:51
through recombination.
02:52 - 02:53
As discussed by randy.
02:54 - 03:00
They took SARS cov uh different strains of it that
03:00 - 03:04
were found in Africa and philo genetically broke it down.
03:05 - 03:08
They checked for recon combination and they also checked for
03:08 - 03:09
convergent evolution.
03:10 - 03:13
If they would check to see if anything was developing
03:14 - 03:20
to develop the spike proteins that developed specifically to affect
03:21 - 03:22
the ace to site.
03:23 - 03:26
It's a very scary thought but it is proven that
03:27 - 03:29
recombination is what they use.
03:30 - 03:35
They are constantly recombining um to develop those spike proteins,
03:36 - 03:40
there is no convergent evolution that has occurred and these
03:40 - 03:44
spike proteins specifically are made to affect our immune systems.
03:45 - 03:52
So they are quite literally perfect uh infecting us.
03:53 - 03:57
Okay, so to move on, the development could be detrimental
03:57 - 03:59
in discovering how to stop the coronavirus.
04:00 - 04:03
As discussed in Rwandese article.
04:05 - 04:10
This uh specific development that we have found in the
04:10 - 04:15
coronavirus of the spike proteins can definitely lead the way
04:16 - 04:17
on seeing how to combat this stuff.
04:18 - 04:24
As as I discussed, the team that developed the the
04:24 - 04:31
actual knowledge of recombination being the exact way that uh
04:31 - 04:34
huh the corona viruses are affecting us.
04:35 - 04:40
Uh huh has discovered fellow genetically that as they constantly
04:41 - 04:45
recombine the spike proteins are even better at affecting the
04:45 - 04:46
ace to protein.
04:48 - 04:52
Now. Uh as I said, randy does do a very
04:52 - 04:59
good job discussing everything that the scientists have discovered with
04:59 - 05:03
the ace two affecting us specifically with their spike proteins
05:03 - 05:03
in the coronavirus.
05:05 - 05:09
Um but like I said, Romney is very good at
05:09 - 05:10
what she does.
05:11 - 05:15
She did a very good job analyzing and bringing to
05:16 - 05:18
us our knowledge in layman's terms.
05:18 - 05:21
Because this is very complicated subject.
05:22 - 05:28
It takes proliferates chains, it takes all kinds of things
05:29 - 05:30
to actually make all this work.
05:32 - 05:35
And we're very lucky to have somebody like Romney covered
05:35 - 05:35
this subject.
05:37 - 05:37
Thank you for listening.
