Biased Mutation and Selection in RNA Viruses.

Molecular biology and evolution - 23 Jan 2021

Kustin Talia, Stern Adi

Abstract excerpt

RNA viruses are responsible for some of the worst pandemics known to mankind, including outbreaks of Influenza, Ebola, and COVID-19. One major challenge in tackling RNA viruses is the fact they are extremely genetically diverse. Nevertheless, they share common features that include their dependence on host cells for replication, and high mutation rates. We set out to search for shared evolutionary characteristics...
