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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Detecting highly similar genes could provide some insight into the kind of dysregulation resulting from the acute phase infection.

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.

Show thread

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.

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.

If we plot the cases using the sunshine duration as a measure of time the different waves are located at the extremes of the axis. But if we look at how the sunshine duration changes specific rates appear to constrain the duration of the waves

Training a VAE with a custom sequence representation sports the different genomes by a temporal variable. Currently, the best fit is the sunshine duration rate of change. A proxy measure of the rate of change of solar radiation at a specific location.

In the case of COVID-19, the data source will be the genomic sequences obtained through genomic surveillance.
