Abstract excerpt
Convergent evolution in protein antigens is common across pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2; the most likely reason is the need to evade the selective pressure exerted by previous infection- or vaccine-elicited immunity. There is a pressing need for automated analysis of convergent mutations. We developed ConvMut, a tool to identify patterns of recurrent mutations in SARS-CoV-2 evolution; we exploited the granular...
