      abstract     = {The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is currently leading to increasing
                      numbers of COVID-19 patients all over the world. Clinical
                      presentations range from asymptomatic, mild respiratory
                      tract infection, to severe cases with acute respiratory
                      distress syndrome, respiratory failure, and death. Reports
                      on a dysregulated immune system in the severe cases call for
                      a better characterization and understanding of the changes
                      in the immune system.In order to dissect COVID-19-driven
                      immune host responses, we performed RNA-seq of whole blood
                      cell transcriptomes and granulocyte preparations from mild
                      and severe COVID-19 patients and analyzed the data using a
                      combination of conventional and data-driven co-expression
                      analysis. Additionally, publicly available data was used to
                      show the distinction from COVID-19 to other diseases.
                      Reverse drug target prediction was used to identify known or
                      novel drug candidates based on finding from data-driven
                      findings.Here, we profiled whole blood transcriptomes of 39
                      COVID-19 patients and 10 control donors enabling a
                      data-driven stratification based on molecular phenotype.
                      Neutrophil activation-associated signatures were prominently
                      enriched in severe patient groups, which was corroborated in
                      whole blood transcriptomes from an independent second cohort
                      of 30 as well as in granulocyte samples from a third cohort
                      of 16 COVID-19 patients (44 samples). Comparison of COVID-19
                      blood transcriptomes with those of a collection of over 3100
                      samples derived from 12 different viral infections,
                      inflammatory diseases, and independent control samples
                      revealed highly specific transcriptome signatures for
                      COVID-19. Further, stratified transcriptomes predicted
                      patient subgroup-specific drug candidates targeting the
                      dysregulated systemic immune response of the host.Our study
                      provides novel insights in the distinct molecular subgroups
                      or phenotypes that are not simply explained by clinical
                      parameters. We show that whole blood transcriptomes are
                      extremely informative for COVID-19 since they capture
                      granulocytes which are major drivers of disease severity.},
