The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased the awareness of emerging infectious diseases. The advancement of multiomics analysis technology has resulted in the development of several databases containing virus information. Several scientists have integrated existing data on viruses to construct phylogenetic trees and predict virus mutation and transmission in different ways, providing prospective technical support for epidemic prevention and control.

Researchers have discovered toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), a nucleic acid sensor within the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, to be aberrantly expressed in many types of cancers.
