The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) opened an online scientific literature sharing platform for novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) studies.
The COVID-19 Pneumonia Scientific Literature Sharing Platform of CAS collects the published study papers about COVID-19 written by the CAS researchers or in its journals, according to the academy's website.
The platform, http://ncov.cas.cn/, also shares scientific data resources of the National Microbiology Data Center and National Genomics Data Centers.
It provides open services of information browsing, searching and sharing, aiming to promote the international exchange of scientific research on COVID-19. (Xinhua)
Researchers have identified a coronavirus in horseshoe bats and confirmed it is to blame for killing some 25,000 piglets in China. The newborn swine on farms in China's southern Guangdong province mysteriously started having diarrhea, vomiting and dying in 2016 and 2017.
The National Genomics Data Center (NGDC) has released the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) database, according to Beijing Institute of Genomics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. By using the database, researchers carried out the variation analysis of the genome of 2019-nCoV, and obtained detailed information on variation degree, variation region and variation base between the 2019-nCoV strains, between the 2019-nCoV strains and SARS-CoV and between the 2019-nCoV strains and SARS-like coronavirus bat strains, said BAO Yiming, director of NGDC.
