SARS-CoV-2 genome mutations display convergent evolution indicating strong adaptive advantages – News-Medical.Net
A recent report by a team of researchers focused on the extent of convergent evolution in the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein. The report confirms that top SARS-CoV-2…
An unprecedented amount of genomic sequence data is accumulating in real-time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 1.2 million sequences of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have been generated during the past 15 months, and the scientific community has gained a lot of knowledge from these sequences.
Of all the mutations sampled so far, only a few became prominent in the viral population. Many of these mutations have emerged recently and in multiple lineages. This a textbook…
