A novel coronavirus strain 2019-nCoV has caused a rapid global pandemic-COVID-19.
Scientists have taken onto the task of characterizing this new virus and
understanding how this virus has transmitted to humans. All preliminary studies
have found some striking similarities between this new virus and the SARS-CoV
that caused a similar kind of epidemic in 2002-2003. Through bioinformatics
tools, a great deal of information has been gathered about the origin, evolution
and zoonosis of this virus. We, in this review, report the symptoms, mode of
transmission and available and putative treatments to tackle 2019-nCoV
infections. We also comprehensively summarize all the information so far made
available regarding the genome, evolution and zoonosis of this virus.
