Specific molecular machinery involved in circadian regulation and highjacked by SARSCov2 infection has already been found. BMAL1, a protein that interacts with CLOCK to synchronize the circadian rhythm, regulates the entry of the virus into the cell. #COVID19 #LongC

Involvement between SARS Cov2 and the circadian rhythm has been proposed before. #COVID19 #LongC

Delayed sleep phase disorder(DSPD) and Major depressive disorder are diseases associated with CLOCK. DSPD disrupts the timing of biological rhythms such as sleep, periods of alertness, body temperature, and hormonal cycles. #COVID19 #LongC

One of the main regulators of the circadian function inside cells is the CLOCK protein, a gen with high compositional similarity to SARS-Cov. CLOCK is involved in chromatin organization and the circadian cycle. #COVID19 #LongCovid

Due to its seasonality(solar radiation changes), I think that one of the main dysregulations is the circadian one. Scheduling of circadian events could be disrupted and some daily variations in symptom severity might also be possible. #COVID19 #LongCovid
Posts data and code are free and open source, feel free to subscribe if you think the following can be useful. Supporting this project will allow me to continue to work on these analyses. #COVID19 #LongCovid
This is not medical advice, it's just an effort to broaden the discussion regarding post-acute sequelae and long covid. I have a substack on which I describe other methods to analyze genomic data. #COVID19 #LongCovid

The following will be a long evolving thread of previously selected genes with high similarity to SARS-Cov2. And its possible involvement in long covid. But some disclaimers. #COVID19 #LongCovid
Detecting highly similar genes could provide some insight into the kind of dysregulation resulting from the acute phase infection. #COVID19 #LongCovid
If the virus adapts to the cellular resources, then the seasonality of the virus could be traced by measuring an environmental variable or by selecting genes with high similarity to the virus. #COVID19 #LongCovid
This over time creates a series of waves of resources inside the cell. If we frame a viral infection as a resource optimization problem then a virus will have seasons with low and high resource availability. #COVID19 #LongCovid
Changes in the environment generate changes in gene expression patterns. Those changes will also modify the nucleotide and the amino acid pools inside the cell. #COVID19 #LongCovid
Whooohoooo 🎉
