Abstract excerpt

This review examines the viral quasispecies concept and its implications for understanding viral evolution, pathogenesis, and the development of effective antiviral therapies. Quasispecies are dynamic populations of closely related but genetically distinct viral genomes, which evolve under mutation and Darwinian selection. Notably, minority variants, often dismissed as "genetic noise", may harbor significant...
