Abstract excerpt
Studying the effects of mutations is central to virology. Deep mutational scanning (DMS) is a technique that couples high-throughput mutagenesis with deep sequencing to measure the effects of mutations in pooled assays. When adapted to viruses, DMS accelerates comprehensive measurement of mutational effects across viral genomes, mapping evolutionary constraints on viral proteins. Recently, DMS has been applied to...
