Abstract excerpt
RNA translation is the rate-limiting step when cells synthesize proteins. Elevating translation efficiency (TE) is intuitively beneficial. Particularly, when viruses invade host cells, how to compete with endogenous RNAs for efficient translation is a major issue to be resolved. We collected millions of worldwide SARS-CoV-2 sequences during the past year and traced the dynamics of allele frequency of every...
