Abstract excerpt
SARS-CoV-2 Envelope (E) protein is critical in viral assembly, release, and virulence. E gene was considered highly conserved and evolving slowly. Pan-sarbecoviruses-conserved regions in the E gene have been used as targets for various RT-PCR assays to detect SARS-CoV-2. It remains elusive whether SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) have accumulated significant E mutations that may affect protein stability and...
