Fig. 5

A PPI is related to mRNA translation and structural constituents of ribosomes. Circles in dark orange represent EPs from nonsurvivors; circles in light orange represent DEPs more abundant in the overall COVID-19 group. B Platelet viral loads in severe cases of COVID-19, by endpoint: survivors or nonsurvivors. No significant differences were found between endpoints (Mann–Whitney U = 11, P = 0.8413, ns). C SARS-CoV-2 genome coverage graphs of platelet samples. Platelet RNA was submitted to SARS-CoV-2 target sequencing to screen for viral genome presence, whether total or partial. A scheme of the Wuhan-Hu-1 genomic isolate [GenBank: NC_045512.2], spanning all structural and nonstructural components, is represented with coverage graphs (blue) for each sample [GenBank: OL984052; OL984053; OL986402; OL984057; OL984061]. Dotted lines mark read depths equal to 100.
