First detected in the United Kingdom, the B.1.1.7 variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has exhibited heightened transmissibility compared to older strains.
A new study published on the bioRxiv* preprint server found that using human organoids could help with better characterizing the phenotype of several viral variants, including B.1.1.7. Their findings show the ribonucleic acid (RNA) shedding of the SARS-CoV-2 variant correlated with viral fitness and infectiousness.
