Insight into genomic organization of pathogenic coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-2: Implication for emergence of new variants, laboratory diagnosis and treatment options

SARS-CoV-2 is a novel zoonotic positive-sense RNA virus (ssRNA+) belonging to the genus beta coronaviruses (CoVs) in the Coronaviridae family. It is the causative agent for the outbreak of the disease, COVID-19. It is the third CoV causing pneumonia around the world in the past 2 decades. To date, it has caused significant deaths worldwide. Notably, the emergence of new genetic variants conferring efficient transmission and immune evasion remained a challenge, despite the reduction in the number of death cases, owing to effective vaccination regimen (boosting) and safety protocols. Thus, information harnessed from SARS-CoV-2 genomic organization is indispensable for seeking laboratory diagnosis and treatment options. Here in, we review previously circulating variants of SARS-CoV-2 designated variant of concern (VOC) including the Alpha (United Kingdom), Beta (South Africa), Gamma (Brazil), Delta (India), and recently circulating VOC, Omicron (South Africa) and its divergent subvariants (BA.1, BA.2, BA.3, BA.2.12.1, BA.4 and BA.5) with BA.5 currently becoming dominant and prolonging the COVID pandemic. In addition, we address the role of computational models for mutagenesis analysis which can predict important residues that contribute to transmissibility, virulence, immune evasion, and molecular detections of SARS-CoV-2. Concomitantly, the importance of harnessing the immunobiology of SARS‐CoV‐2 and host interaction for therapeutic purpose; and use of an in slilico based biocomputational approaches to achieve this purpose via predicting novel therapeutic agents targeting PRR such as toll like receptor, design of universal vaccine and chimeric antibodies tailored to the emergent variant have been highlighted.
