Abstract excerpt
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has resulted in numerous virus variants, some of which have altered receptor-binding or antigenic phenotypes. Here, we quantify the degree to which adaptive evolution is driving the accumulation of mutations across the genome. We correlate clade growth with mutation accumulation, compare rates of nonsynonymous to synonymous divergence, assess temporal clustering of mutations, and evaluate...
