An analysis of the genetic diversity of the D614G mutation in… – AlKhaleej Today

Even if the circulating severe coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) strains with acute respiratory syndrome appear to be developing in different directions, the dominant strain remains the one that has the D614G mutation in the spike protein. A new study published on the preprint server bioRxiv* * In November 2020 it was reported that the effect of the mutation in terms of pathogenicity or altered response to neutralizing antibodies raised against the native virus strain was minimal.
