The Roles of APOBEC-mediated RNA Editing in SARS-CoV-2 Mutations, Replication and Fitness
2021-12-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> During COVID-19 pandemic, mutations of SARS-CoV-2 produce new strains that can be more infectious or evade vaccines. Viral RNA mutations can arise from misincorporation by RNA-polymerases and modification by host factors. Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 sequence from patients showed a strong bias toward C-to-U mutation, suggesting a potential mutational role by host APOBEC cytosine deaminases that posses...
