SARS-CoV-2-human protein-protein interaction network.

ABSTRACT: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the novel coronavirus which caused the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and infected more than 12 million victims and resulted in over 560,000 deaths in 213 countries around the world. Having no symptoms in the first week of infection increases the rate of spreading the virus. The increasing rate of the number of infected individuals and its high mortality necessitates an immediate development of proper diagnostic methods and effective treatments. SARS-CoV-2, similar to other viruses, needs to interact with the host proteins to reach the host cells and replicate its genome. Consequently, virus-host protein-protein interaction (PPI) identification could be useful in predicting the behavior of the virus and the design of antivi
