SARS-CoV-2 sequences can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genomes of virus-infected cells by a LINE1 mediated retrotransposition mechanism. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) methods detected
Prolonged SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding and the recurrence of PCR-positive tests have been widely reported in patients after recovery; however, most of these patients were not infectious. We investigated th
