Variation in the ACE2 receptor has limited utility for SARS-CoV-2 host prediction
N. Mollentze, D. Keen, U. Munkhbayar, R. Biek, D. G. Streicker
The paper shows that ACE2 receptor variation is not a reliable predictor of SARS-CoV-2 host susceptibility due to its strong correlation with host phylogeny rather than viral binding mechanisms.
