Abstract excerpt
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) has been verified as the causative agent of a worldwide outbreak of SARS. Since the observed per-base replication error-rate of RNA polymerase is about 3 x 10(-5), RNA virus populations typically contain genetic variants that form a heterogeneous virus pool. This feature confers great adaptability on viruses and is partly responsible for...
