  A Supercomputer Analyzed Covid-19 — and an Interesting New Theory Has Emerged A closer look at the Bradykinin hypothesis Thomas Smith Sep 1 · 8 min read Photo: zhangshuang/Getty Images E arlier this summer, the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee set about  crunching data  on more than 40,000 genes from 17,000 genetic samples in an effort to better understand  Covid-19 .

When Summit was done, researchers analyze d  the results.
