Abstract excerpt
The descendants of the B lineage are the most predominant variants among the SARS-CoV-2 virus due to the incorporation of new mutations augmenting the infectivity of the virus. There is a substantial increase in the transition transversion bias, nucleotide diversity and purifying selection on the spike protein in the descendants of the B lineage of the SARS-CoV-2 virus on a temporal scale. A strong bias for...
