Abstract excerpt
During replication, some mutations occur in SARS-CoV-2, the causal agent of COVID-19, leading to the emergence of different variants of the virus. The mutations that accrue in different variants of the virus, influence the virus' ability to bind to human cell receptors and ability to evade the human immune system, the rate of viral transmission, and effectiveness of vaccines. Some of these mutations occur in the...
