    Snippet: What can analysis of its RNA genome tell us about this new human coronavirus? Analysis of the HCoV-EMC genome was able to distinguish whether HCoV-EMC was a known human coronavirus with mutations that increased its virulence or a product of recombination between two or more known coronavirus species or, like SARS-CoV, a spillover of a zoonotic coronavirus that was transmitted, either directly or indirectly, to humans from an animal reservoir.

    Document: What can analysis of its RNA genome tell us about this new human coronavirus? Analysis of the HCoV-EMC genome was able to distinguish whether HCoV-EMC was a known human coronavirus with mutations that increased its virulence or a product of recombination between two or more known coronavirus species or, like SARS-CoV, a spillover of a zoonotic coronavirus that was transmitted, either directly or indirectly, to humans from an animal reservoir. The genomic analysis showed that HCoV-EMC is a new coronavirus that had never before been detected in any other species.
