Profiling SARS-CoV-2 mutation fingerprints that range from the viral pangenome to individual infection quasispecies
2020-11-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> The genome of SARS-CoV-2 is susceptible to mutations during viral replication due to the errors generated by RNA-dependent RNA polymerases. These mutations enable the SARS-CoV-2 to evolve into new strains. Viral quasispecies emerge from de novo mutations that occur in individual patients. In combination, these sets of viral mutations provide distinct genetic fingerprints that...
