D614G mutation eventuates in all VOI and VOC in SARS-CoV-2: Is it part of the positive selection pioneered by Darwin?
31 Aug 2021
Abstract excerpt
Recently, several emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 have originated from the Wuhan strain and spread throughout the globe within one and a half years. One mutation, D614G, is very prominent in all VOI and VOC in SARS-CoV-2. This mutation might help to increase the viral fitness in all emerging variants where the mutation is present. With the help of this mutation (D614G), the SARS-CoV-2 variants have gained viral...
