28 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19 infection, with a closest known relative found in bats. For this virus, hundreds of genomes have been sequenced. This data provides insights into SARS-CoV-2 adaptations, determinants of pathogenicity and mutation patterns. A comparison between patterns of mutations that occurred before and after SARS-CoV-2 jumped to human hosts may reveal...
