Abstract excerpt
India, with around 15 million COVID-19 cases, recently became the second worst-hit nation by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. In this study, we analyzed the mutation and selection landscape of 516 unique and complete genomes of SARS-CoV-2 isolates from India in a 12-month span (from Jan to Dec 2020) to understand how the virus is evolving in this geographical region. We identified 953 genome-wide loci displaying single...
